Is a new star called a protostar?

Yes, a new star that is in the process of formation is called a protostar. It is the early stage in the life cycle of a star when gravitational forces are causing gas and dust to condense and heat up, eventually leading to nuclear fusion and the birth of a stable star.


What is a newly formed star called?

New stars together are called a star cluster.They usually travel in space together, for there gravity keeps them in a group.


What is the new star?

"New star" refers to a star that has recently formed or been discovered in the night sky. These stars can be the result of stellar explosions, such as supernovae, or the formation of new stars in regions of active star formation, like nebulae. Astronomers continuously monitor the night sky for any new stars that may appear.


Why is the Orion nebula called a star nursery?

The Orion Nebula is called a star nursery because it is a region within our galaxy where new stars are actively forming. The nebula is a giant cloud of gas and dust where gravity causes these materials to come together and eventually form new stars. This process of star formation resembles a nursery where new stars are born.


Where would a new star most likely form?

A new star would most likely form in a region of space called a stellar nursery, found within dense interstellar clouds of gas and dust. These clouds provide the necessary materials and conditions for the gravitational collapse of the gas to occur, leading to the birth of a new star.
