Description

This lecture covers the concept of Jeans' radius and mass in astrophysics, explaining how they determine the minimum size and mass required for a cloud to collapse under its own gravity. It also discusses free-fall time, gravitational contraction, and the lifetime of celestial objects, providing insights into the dynamics of cosmic structures.
