A brown dwarf is a "failed star" - one that never became hot enough (not enough mass) to start nuclear fusion.

What else can I help you with?
What stars are cool and dim?
Brown dwarfs are failed stars, so they don't count. Red dwarfs are the kings when it comes to dimness
What stars are cool stars?
Red Dwarf stars. Brown Dwarfs are failed stars, so they don't count.
Very small stars that are usually old and running out fuel are called?
Those are dwarf stars, which start out as white dwarfs and as they (very slowly) cool, become red dwarfs and eventually brown dwarfs.
Is dwarf stars also known as failed stars?
No, not all dwarf stars are failed stars. Only brown dwarfs are called "failed stars".
What are the types of medium and dwarf stars?
Somewhat confusingly, there are no "medium" stars. Stars are either dwarfs or giants. Dwarf stars (class V) come in all types: O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. There are also class VII "white dwarfs", probably better called "degenerate dwarfs" which are distinct from AV stars. In the first place, they really are small (about the size of Earth); the smallest red dwarfs are much larger, and even the so-called "brown dwarfs" are around the size of Jupiter (though much more massive). Also, they're not part of the main sequence.
A dying star shrinks to this?
Dying stars eventually shrink into white dwarfs (which as they age eventually become red dwarfs and then brown dwarfs - but this takes an extremely long time).
What is the difference between brown dwarfs and Jupiter?
Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that are larger and more massive than planets like Jupiter. They are not massive enough to sustain nuclear fusion in their cores, which is a defining characteristic of stars. Jupiter, on the other hand, is a gas giant planet in our solar system.
What kinds of stars are smaller than the sun?
There are other "main sequence" stars smaller than the Sun, but the classes of much smaller stars are:white dwarf stars (once Sun-like but no longer support fusion)red dwarfs and orange dwarfs (small dim stars that have very long lives)"brown dwarfs" (oversized Jovian gas giants with little or no fusion)neutron stars (smaller than the Earth but immensely dense, remnants of massive stars that went supernova)
What is the percentage of stars in the universe are red dwarfs?
70-75% of stars are red dwarfs.
Do stars die out after becoming white dwarfs?
No. Stars become white dwarfs after dying.
What stars are the oldest red dwarfs white dwarfs red stars or giant stars?
The oldest stars are typically red dwarfs, which are small, cool, and faint stars that have long lifespans. White dwarfs are the remnant cores of low to medium mass stars, not the oldest. Giant stars are intermediate stage stars that have evolved away from the main sequence.
What is the green dwarf name?
The name "green dwarf" is not typically used in astronomy to describe a type of star. Stars are classified based on their spectral characteristics which determine their color. Common types include red dwarfs, white dwarfs, and brown dwarfs, but not green dwarfs.
