What is a developing star not yet hot enough to engage in nuclear fusion called?
A protostar. See related question.
When does a newly forming star have the greatest luminosity?
A rotating nebula (a cloud of gas and dust) collapses under gravity. This creates a lot of heat energy. A "protostar" forms, before nuclear fusion begins. When the core temperature is high enough, hydrogen nuclei can undergo fusion and become helium, releasing nuclear energy. So, eventually the protostar becomes a "true" star and reaches the Main Sequence on the HR diagram. The newly forming star has its greatest luminosity during the earlyprotostar stage. (The protostar has a much bigger surface area than the final star.)
What does proto mean in protostar?
Wiktionary: "Prototypical; preceding the proper beginning of something". That sounds about right, for a protostar.
Did Jesse Jackson star in star wars?
do you mean star, or act? if you meant star, no. i dont know the answer if you meant act.
Is a protostar a collapsing nebula?
This is a very good question. And the short answer would be YES. Actually much more has to occur before nuclear fusion takes place in order to create a full star, but yes this is the beginning of the process. Remember "KEEP LOOKING UP." :)
Are protostar a star?
A protostar is more like a stage previous to a star - before it ignites.
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.
What is the name of a forming star?
Protostar
What is baby star?

What is a star called before it is a star?
A star that is forming is called a protostar.
Do prostars become stars?
The term is "protostar", not "prostar". Yes. A protostar is an early stage of a star.
What is the earliest stages of a star's life?
protostar
Is A new star is called a protostar?
Yes
Who named the protostar and why?
No one. It comes from the Greek - proto - meaning first. So first star - a protostar.
What slow down the contracting of a star forming cloud when it makes a protostar?
trapping of thermal energy inside the protostar
What is a star called before it is born?
A star is called a protostar before it begins nuclear fusion in its core and officially becomes a star. During this stage, a protostar is formed from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust, as gravity pulls material together and heats up the core.
What is the name given to a new star in the Heavans?
Protostar
