When material falls from the cloud to the star potential

When material falls from the cloud to the star potential energy is first converted to kinetic energy and then to heat The potential energy of a particle with mass m in the potential of a mass the star M at a distance Ris U grav m GMm R If a particle falls down infinitely far from on a solar mass star with a radius of 4 R sun and all the energy is converted into heat what temperature does it get you can assume that the particle is one hydrogen molecule
