"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.

Do prostars become stars?
The term is "protostar", not "prostar". Yes. A protostar is an early stage of a star.
Compare the elements in an early prostar and those in a young star formed star dust of older stars?
A protostar has 100% Hydrogen. A young star has a Helium core.
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.
Does the sun eventually become a neutron star?
As far as we know, the sun will never become a neutron star. it will eventually become a Red Giant and then it will eventually become a white dwarf
When its fusion stops a star will become either a black hole a neutron star or?
When fusion stops in a star it will start to fuse helium and will become a red giant.
Do prostars become stars?
The term is "protostar", not "prostar". Yes. A protostar is an early stage of a star.
What does the prostar do?
A prostar is sometimes refered to as a young star. It is a star early in its formation created in a nebula. What a prostar will do is develop into a star you know, such as main-sequence stars, supergiants, or dwarfs. It all depends on the mass of the star on what it will form into.
What are the meaning of prostar?
its a star that is soo good, better than any other star.
What is a star's second stage?
The first stage in a star's life is as a nebula. As the gravitational forces spin faster, the star enters it's second stage, that of a prostar.
Compare the elements in an early prostar and those in a young star formed star dust of older stars?
A protostar has 100% Hydrogen. A young star has a Helium core.
What stage follows the white dwarf stage of star development red giant prostar neutron black dwarf?
The Neutron stage follows the White Dwarf stage of star development.
Where is the proper address of Prostar Company in the UK?
The proper address of the Prostar company in the UK is Cavendish House, Welbeck, Worsop, Notts, S80 3LL. Prostar provides plant equipment in the food industry.
Where is fuse location on work star international 2008?
Have not dealt with this particular vehicle, but Navistar International traditionally places their fuses and relays behind the glove compartment, as they do with the ProStar.
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.
How do you become a five star trainer?
You have to become a five star trainer first
Where can I find printable international prostar pictures?
