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 young star in the early stages of formation, where nuclear fusion has not yet begun. A white dwarf is a small, dense star that is the remnant core of a low to medium mass star after it has exhausted its nuclear fuel.

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)


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.


What are the stages of the sun's life cycle?

The sun's life cycle includes the stages of formation, main-sequence, red giant, and white dwarf. It is currently in the main-sequence stage, where it fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. Eventually, it will expand into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and becoming a white dwarf.
