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 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.
What are the stages of the sun's life cycle?
protostar, main sequence, giant, nebula, white dwarf & black dwarf.
Does a star change during its life cylcle?
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 low mass star (main sequence)?
A star with a low mass will go through these stages: 1. Protostar nebula 2. Main sequence (as a red dwarf) 3. Red giant 4. Planetary nebula 5. White dwarf (6. Black dwarf is theorized to occur after white dwarf)
Which type of star is NOT undergoing nuclear fusion?
A protostar; also a brown dwarf.

What is the life cycle of a yellow star?
Nebula protostar mid sized star red giant nova white dwarf black dwarf:)
How are stars made with fusion reaction big bang giant nebula white dwarf and protostar?
white dwarf is an age that a star reaches but the big bang is an explosion of nuclear energy that makes a star

Why is the time from protostar to black hole shorter than the time from protostar to white dwarf?
The mass of the progenitor star has to be massive to form a black hole and thus it will have a shorter time on the main sequence compared to a medium sized star.
What is the difference between a brown dwarf and a protostar?
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.
Which type of star is NOT undergoing nuclear fusion?
A protostar; also a brown dwarf.
Describe in general the life history of a star with an average mass like the Sun?
A star, the size of our sun, does not explode into a supernova. Instead, toward the end of its life, it grows over 1000 times its size into what is called a Red Giant. After that it implodes and looses mass at a quick rate reaching the white dwarf stage. After that it is a black dwarf and looses all its energy and mass.
What is a possible outcome for a protostar that does no have enough material?
A brown dwarf.A brown dwarf.A brown dwarf.A brown dwarf.
What are the seven step in the cycle of a star?
Stars have several cycles in their lifespan. The seven cycles of a star like our sun are Stellar Nebula, Protostar, Main sequence star, Red Giant, Planetary Nebula, White Dwarf, and Black Dwarf.
