A protostar is a star the is developing as is on the way to starting nuclear fusion. A brown dwarf is a failed star, one that failed to gather enough mass to start fusion.

What is the difference between the protostar and the white dwarf?

A protostar is a star that is in the early stages of formation that has not yet become a main sequence star. A white dwarf is a remnant left behind after a low to medium mass star dies.

Yes. The possible cycle is: protostar/brown dwarf main sequence star red giant supernova/super giant white dwarf/black hole black dwarf


What is a brown dwarf?

A brown dwarf is a celestial object that has a size that is between a star and a giant planet.


What is the differences of a protostar and a white dwarf?

A protostar is a star that is still forming and has not yet started a sustained fusion reaction. All the heat is the result of gasses being compressed. A white dwarf is the remnant of a dead star that has exhausted its fuel and is much smaller and denser than a protostar.

What is the difference between red and brown dwarf stars?

Red dwarf stars are massive enough to undergo nuclear fusion, so they would burn a long time before they run out of fuel. Brown dwarves are not massive enough for nuclear fusion, so almost all of its light come from the time when the brown dwarf was formed. Over a long period of time, a brown dwarf would cool down into a gas giant similar to Jupiter.


How is a protostar created?

Sometimes. If the total mass is high enough, and if the cloud of dust and gas collapse to reach a high enough density and pressure, nuclear fusion can begin in the core and it will become a star. If the total mass is not high enough, it may collapse into a "brown dwarf".
