When a protostar rises to 10000000 degrees celsius will a protostar become a star before or after nuclear fusion?
A protostar must reach about 10 million degrees Celsius for nuclear fusion to start in its core, triggering the transition into a true star. This marks the point where hydrogen atoms begin fusing into helium, releasing energy in the process. So, a protostar will become a full-fledged star after nuclear fusion begins at this temperature.
The onset of which event marks the change of a protostar into a star-?
The nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium
Which substance is most likely to undergo nuclear fusion?
Hydrogen is the most likely substance to undergo nuclear fusion. In the core of stars, hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium through the fusion process, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.
Inside a prostar the nuclear fusion of hydrogen will begin when?
The core of the protostar reached an extremely high temperature
How hot must the core of a protostar be to begin nuclear fusion?
The core of a protostar must reach temperatures of at least 10 million degrees Celsius for nuclear fusion to begin. At this temperature, hydrogen atoms can overcome their mutual repulsion and fuse to form helium, releasing energy in the process.
When does a protostar become a star?
The basic idea is that the protostar contracts, under the influence of gravity, until it gets dense and hot enough to undergo nuclear fusion. You can find more details at the Wikipedia article "Protostar".

Which type of star is NOT undergoing nuclear fusion?
A protostar; also a brown dwarf.
The onset of which event marks the change of a protostar into a star?
the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium
The onset of which event marks the change of a protostar into a star-?
The nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium
What is the process by which a protostar is heated up to initiate nuclear fusion and become a star?
A protostar is heated up by gravitational forces causing it to contract and increase in temperature. Once the core reaches a high enough temperature and pressure, nuclear fusion reactions begin, releasing energy and making the protostar shine as a star.
What is the name of a young star that has not yet started nuclear fusion?
That sounds like the description of a protostar.
What is the difference between a brown dwarf and a protostar?
A protostar is a star the is developing as is on the way to starting nuclear fusion. A brown dwarf is a failed star, one that failed to gather enough mass to start fusion.
Which substance is most likely to undergo nuclear fusion?
Hydrogen is the most likely substance to undergo nuclear fusion. In the core of stars, hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium through the fusion process, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.
Inside a prostar the nuclear fusion of hydrogen will begin when?
The core of the protostar reached an extremely high temperature
A protostar becomes a star when energy is released by the process of what?
Nuclear fusion. In the case of stars, it is often called nucleosynthesis.
What is a developing star not yet hot enough to engage in nuclear fusion called?
A protostar. See related question.
