Are protostar a star?

A protostar is more like a stage previous to a star - before it ignites.


Why does temperature increase more rapidly in a more massive protostar than in a less masive protostar?

because the jews said so


Why does the temperature of a protostar increase?

The temperature of a protostar increases due to gravitational contraction. As the protostar contracts, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing the particles to move faster and collide more frequently, resulting in an increase in temperature. This process eventually leads to the ignition of nuclear fusion and the star's main sequence phase.


What time references best fits the concept of geologic time a dozen years a hundred years a thousand years a million or more years?

a million or more years


What is the first step of stellar evolution?

The formation of a protostar from a nebula. As the protostar forms, it accretes more mass from the cloud and spins. As it gains more mass, it eventually becomes massive enough to ignite the core and become a star. The protostar is the first step in the evolution of any star.


What is a contracting cloud of gas and dust with enough mass to form a star?

How old was the Sun a million years ago?

The sun was roughly 4.6 billion years old a million years ago. The margin for error on the estimated age of the sun is more than a million years.


How long can a star shine for?

Small dim stars can shine for a trillion years or more. The more massive a star is, the BRIGHTER it is, and the faster it burns out. Our Sun is perhaps just a bit larger than average, but not by a whole lot; our Sun has already burned for 4.5 billion years or so, and we can expect as much more. But it won't be the Sun as we know it; in 3 billion years or a little more, it will expand into a red giant. Very large stars like Betelgeuse are already quite old and about to die - spectacularly! - at fairly early ages. (Some time within the next 100,000 years) And yet, Betelgeuse is only about 100 million years old!
