What else can I help you with?
How do you know if a star is a protostar?
If you can see it, its a star. Protostars radiate only in the infrared.
How are temperature and density affected when a protostar begins to collapse?
Both will increase.
What is a developing star not yet hot enough to engage in nuclear fusion called?
A protostar. See related question.
What is generated by the pressure caused by gravity inside a protostar?
Intense heat. If you are looking for the answer to a crossword puzzle it may just be "heat".
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.)
Who named the protostar and why?
No one. It comes from the Greek - proto - meaning first. So first star - a protostar.
What is the definition of a low mass proto star?
a low mass protostar is the begining formation of a low mass star. a low mass protostar is formed by a nebula (stellar nursery), like a cloud in space, where all stares come from. the definition of protostar is: a collection of gas, and dust who`s gravitational pull is causing it to collapse on itself & form a star. a LOW MASS protostar just has a LOWER MASS then a HIGH MASS protostar. Your Welcome:)
What does proto mean?
Proto is a last name or it could be a first name.
What does protoliberate mean?
What does proto liberate mean?
What does the word proto literate mean?

What does the prefix proto mean?
Proto- means "First" or "Primary". An example is the word "Prototype", which means the first or the original invention or model.
The earliest stage of a stars life is called a?
A Protostar.
Why is protosun not a star?
AnswerA proto star hasn't accumulated enough mass for the thermo-nuclear reacton to start, which would make it a star.To add to the above answer, most of the light that a protostar produces is due to the pressure from gravity. -Phil
When does a proto star become a star?
A protostar becomes a star when nuclear fusion is initiated in its core. This process starts when the temperature and pressure in the core reach a critical point, enabling hydrogen atoms to fuse into helium. Once this fusion reaction begins, the star will start to shine and enter the main sequence phase of its life cycle.
Which is the beginnings of a star?
It isn't clear what you mean by "the following", but the initial stage of a star is called a "protostar".
What is the life span of protostar?
A protostar takes about 100,000 years to reach the main sequence.
Are protostar a star?
A protostar is more like a stage previous to a star - before it ignites.
