Glowing gas clouds that will eventually become stars--as the question is phrased the answer must be: Reflection Nebulae. These are clouds of gas lit by nearby stars. Eventually this gas will be incorporated in new stars, but probably not for a long, long time.

The asker may have been after: What are the interstellar gas clouds glowing in THE INFRARED that will eventually become stars?

The answer to this is a proto-stellar cloud.

Previous answer:

Protostars

This is not correct. A protostar is exactly what it sounds like--a star in the process of forming. In the protostar state, a gaseous mass has formed a central clump surrounded by a thick disk of gas and dust.

The cloud of gas and dust surrounding a protostar make it very hard to detect, and in fact they are only seen in the deep infrared--they are not visible to the human eye.

What are glowing cloud sections that will eventually become stars?

Glowing cloud sections that will eventually become stars are protostars. These protostars are clouds of interstellar gas and dust, which gradually collapse causing a hot dense core to form and evolve into a star.


How stars create?

Clouds of gas will collapse, under certain circumstances, due to their own gravity. These will eventually become stars. This process is described in more detail in the Wikipedia article on "Protostars".


What are the glowing clouds in space?

The glowing clouds that you see in pictures from space are called emission nebulas. A emission nebula is a cloud of hot, glowing cloud of gas and dust in space. These nebulas absorb the light of nearby stars and reach very high temperatures. The high temperature causes them to glow. Emission nebulas are often found in regions of space where new stars are forming.


Glowing gas clouds that will eventually become stars?

protostars That is called a Nebula. It is a giant cloud of gas, made up of various elements including hydrogen, helium and others. The clouds float in space and contain everything necessary to form a star and a solar system. Eventually something causes the gravity in the nebula to become unstable. For instance, shock waves from a super nova or something similar. These shock waves cause the cloud to start to move, which if strong enough, will cause the cloud to start spinning. Gravity takes over and eventually you have a star. This is a gross oversimplification. Much more happens than this. But it answer the question fairly quickly.


What is a glowing cloud of gas?

A glowing cloud of gas is typically a nebula, which is a large cloud of gas and dust in space that emits light due to the presence of energized atoms and molecules. These clouds can be illuminated by nearby stars or by processes such as shockwaves or radiation from massive stars.

Stars


How is the sun like the other stars?

The sun is a star, much like the other stars in the universe. It is a ball of hot, glowing gases that emit light and heat through nuclear fusion reactions at its core. Just like other stars, the sun is born from giant molecular clouds, undergoes a lifecycle, and will eventually evolve into a red giant.


HOW STARS AR CREATED?

Stars do not have clouds.


Do clouds has a nebula?

No, a nebula is a place where stars are born. Stars and clouds are very different.


Does the sun eventually become a neutron star?

No, the sun will not become a neutron star. Neutron stars form from the remnants of massive stars that have undergone a supernova explosion. The sun is not massive enough to undergo this process and will instead evolve into a white dwarf.
