cloud is any accumulation of gas, plasma, or dust in the galaxies. It is a more dense region of the interstellar medium.

Collapsing Cloud FragmentA collapsing cloud

fragment is a fragment that was developing into a typical interstellar cloud. It is destined from a star like our sun.

Fragmentation CeasesWhen fragmentation

ceases, a stage 2 fragment has shrunk by the start of stage 3 to roughly the size of our solar system. It is still roughly 10,000 times the size of our sun.

Protostar
