Why does the temperature of a protostar increase?
As gravity pulls more material toward the center of the protostar, the pressure inside the protostar builds.
How is a protostar different from a star?
A star begins its life as a ball of gas and dust. Gravity pulls the gas and dust into a spere. As the sphere becomes denser, it gets hotter and eventually reaches temperature of about 10,000,000 Celsius in its center. As hydrogen combines into helium, energy is released in a precess called neclear fusion.
How long does a protostar live?
A protostar will live as long as 100,000 years. After material stops falling on the protostar it will enter then T Tauri star phase.
How hot is the core of a protostar?
The core will reach between 250,000,000 to 500,000,000'C at its stable temperature. Beforehand it will rapidly gain heat from hundreds of thousands to its stable temperature, where it can begin the process of nuclear fusion. Hope that helps!
Will a protostar form near the end of a star's life cycle?
No, a protostar is basically the BEGINNING of a star's life cycle.
Why does the temperature of a protostar increase?
As gravity pulls more material toward the center of the protostar, the pressure inside the protostar builds.
Why does temperature increase more rapidly in a more massive protostar than in a less masive protostar?
because the jews said so
What happens to the surface temperature and luminosity when gravity first assembles a protostar from a collapsing cloud?
Its surface temperature and luminosity increase.
How are temperature and density affected when a protostar begins to collapse?
Both will increase.
Inside a prostar the nuclear fusion of hydrogen will begin when?
The core of the protostar reached an extremely high temperature
The earliest stage of a stars life is called a?
A Protostar.

Are protostar a star?
A protostar is more like a stage previous to a star - before it ignites.
What is the life span of protostar?
A protostar takes about 100,000 years to reach the main sequence.
Was the Sun a protostar about a million years ago?
No. The sun was a protostar about 4.6 billion years ago.
Do prostars become stars?
The term is "protostar", not "prostar". Yes. A protostar is an early stage of a star.
