"Proto" comes from the Latin word for "formless", and generally means "new" or "still forming" or "incomplete". So, the first example of a new device or gadget that you are making is the "prototype", the first or incomplete version.

So a "protostar" is a condensing blob of gas that is in the process of becoming a star. But it isn't a star YET, because it hasn't reached the density and temperature to begin nuclear fusion.

A Protostar becomes a main sequence star when its core temperature exceeds 10 million K. This is the temperature needed for hydrogen fusion to operate efficiently. The length of time all of this takes depends on the mass of the star.

Generally when the temperature of the core reaches 10 million degrees Kelvin and the star enters the main sequence phase.

What will a high mass protostar turn into?

A protostar is the first building block of the main star. As it has not yet accumulated enough mass to join the main sequence, it will be smaller than the main star. The next stage will be a T Tauri star.


Should I purchase an international prostar?

A Prostar is a good choice but you should consider what kind of engine would be best for your situation. If you would go for something like the DD-15, Detroit has stated the it is built to have 5% better mileage. However, there had been a recall on Prostar trucks last year, so you might want to look into that.
