prorostars don't ALWAYS become stars
Glowing cloud sections that will eventually become stars are protostars. These protostars are clouds of interstellar gas and dust, which gradually collapse causing a hot dense core to form and evolve into a star.
1.Nebula ( plural for nebulae) are the birth place of stars. 2. If a critical temperature in the core of a protostar is not reached, it ends up a brown dwarf. 3. Stars begin their lives inside molecular clouds.

The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.
Gravity is what causes dust to gather to make stars and planets. ANswer All stars start out as swirling clouds of elements (mainly hydrogen and helium), called nebulae. This occurs whether a small star like the sun or a very massive star like Betelgeuse or Sirius is formed. In the core of little spherical pockets (protostars which become the stars eventually), nucleosynthesis begins. This occurs in all stars, converting hydrogen to helium and all elements up to iron (atomic number 26). Once nucleosynthesis commences, protostars become known as stars. But, as Marcus Chown is so fond of 'subtleties' in his book Quantum Theory cannot hurt you, here is a subtlety to understand here. Stars, however large or small, have great weight crushing the star into a tiny pinprick by gravity. Obviously the larger the star the greater the weight and the more massive the crushing force. There is a balance however; the heat generated from nucleosynthesis keeps the star rotund and noncollapsing. But with the greater crushing force of the larger stars, heat has to be generated all the faster. So stars, start off similar from nebulae, whether large or small like the sun. But their mass determines their fates in the end.
All stars are formed from protostars.

On the contrary, "protostar" is the name of an early stage in the development of a star.
Protostars
Protostars are the beggining of stars
Clouds of gas will collapse, under certain circumstances, due to their own gravity. These will eventually become stars. This process is described in more detail in the Wikipedia article on "Protostars".
Clouds of gas and dust, called nebulas and then form into protostars.
Other stars did the stars. This is true in tabloids as well as in astronomy. The birth of stars is usually preceded by the death of nearby stars. Stars going nova cause compression waves in the interstellar medium, causing pockets of gas to reach critical density. These pockets then collapse in on themselves creating protostars. Protostars contract until they reach critical density, and hydrogen in their cores start to fuse. A star is born.
Protostars was created in 1971.

Main sequence WIMP burners look much like protostars link the paradoxically young OB stars found at the galactic centre with WIMP burners.
