What else can I help you with?
Which planet if it were bigger would be a star?
Jupiter. However, it would need to be MUCH bigger. It would need about 80 times its present mass to become even the smallest possible red dwarf star. Even if you count "brown dwarfs", Jupiter would still need more than ten times its present mass just to be the smallest brown dwarf.
If Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune were all combined would there be enough mass to start nuclear fusion?
No. You need about 13 times the mass of Jupiter for a brown dwarf, which is only capable of deuterium fusion - and about 80 times the mass of Jupiter to fuse regular hydrogen.
What is the fate of an isolated brown dwarf?
The fate of an isolated brown dwarf depends on its mass. If the brown dwarf is below a certain threshold (about 13 times the mass of Jupiter), it will cool and fade over time, eventually becoming a cold, dark object called a "rogue planet." If the brown dwarf is more massive, it may undergo fusion reactions and become a star, though this is rare for isolated brown dwarfs.
What is the minimum mass a body can have and still considered a brown dwarf?
The lower mass limit is a subject of debate; it might be somewhere around 13 times the Jupiter mass.
If a brown dwarf hit the moon?
Brown Dwarfs are 5 times the Size of Jupiter, so if a Brown Dwarf will hit the Moon it will hit or Burn Eurth too, but if the Moon is gone or destryed Eurth's climate will change and other problems may happen.
How big can a planet be?
The size of a planet is determined by its mass and composition. The largest known planet, as of now, is Jupiter, with a diameter that is 11 times larger than Earth's. There is no strict limit on how big a planet can be, but gas giants like Jupiter are likely to be the largest due to their composition.
How many times bigger than Mercury is Jupiter?
Jupiter has about 29.3 times the diameter of Mercury (at equator).
Compare the size of Pluto and Jupiter?
Jupiter is much larger than Pluto. Jupiter has a diameter over 11 times greater than that of Pluto and is significantly more massive. Pluto is considered a dwarf planet and is much smaller compared to Jupiter.
Which is the largest planet in your galaxy?
It is really too early to know; we know about some 400 planets, and our galaxy is expected to have many billions of them. However, the limit should be at about 13 times the mass of Jupiter; above that, it would no longer be a planet, but a brown dwarf.
What is a largest planet in our solar system?
If you are talking about the solar system, The answer is Jupiter. But if you're talking about the whole universe? your gonna have to wait, one reason is that there is possibly quintillions (1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = one quintillion[to my estimate]) of planets in the universe. another reason is that when a planet gets enough mass, it can turn into a brown dwarf.
What planet has a large hurricane several times bigger than earth?
Jupiter.
Give the names of the 2 dwarf stars in your solar system?
There are no dwarf stars in my solar system.Answer:Technically we Earth types only have one dwarf star in our solar system. Our Sun (Sol) is "G V star" which is otherwise known as a Yellow Dwarf star.That then brings us to the interesting case of Jupiter.Jupiter radiates 1.6 times a much energy as falls on it from the Sun. Thus, Jupiter has an internal heat source. Simply put it lacks the mass to initiate hydrogen fusion reactions in its core and become a star by about a factor of 100. This is not so large a factor on astrophysical mass scales, so we could view Jupiter as either a very large planet, or a failed star.
