What's responsible for preventing the gas giants from collapsing into a star?

Gas giants do not have enough mass that holds much gravitation force to ensure collapsing into a star. The gravitation pull is not strong enough to cause the fusion of hydrogen atoms. These gas giants, such as Jupiter, therefore, do not become stars.

mountains can affect the climate of nearby lands. in some areas, mountains block rain, so that one side of a mountain range may be rainy and the other side may be a desert. much of airborne moisture falls as rain on the windward side of mountains.

explanation:

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
