∙ 13y agoWe can't be sure, because brown dwarf stars are tiny, dim, and not visible from far away. We're pretty sure that there aren't any REALLY close to our Sun, but if it were small enough, we might not have noticed it. There are scientists who believe that our Sun may be a binary star, that a tiny brown dwarf may be in a distant orbit around it.
Scientists now believe that brown dwarf stars are very numerous, and may be the most common type of star.

What is a small star that only gives of faint light and are cool?
That can either be an old white dwarf, a red dwarf. or a brown dwarf.
Is a brown dwarf bigger than the sun?
No Brown Dwarfs are too small to be considerred a star.
What is a falled star?
Assuming that the question refers not to a falled (??) star but to a failed star, the answer is that it is a star that does not have enough mass for hydrogen fusion to be sustain. Such stars are also known as brown dwarf stars.Assuming that the question refers not to a falled (??) star but to a failed star, the answer is that it is a star that does not have enough mass for hydrogen fusion to be sustain.

Is Pluto a white dwarf star?
Pluto is not a white dwarf star, it is just a dwarf planet.
Why would a white dwarf become a red dwarf?
A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.
What is a brown dwarf?
A brown dwarf is a celestial object that has a size that is between a star and a giant planet.
Is a brown dwarf star on its way to becoming a black dwarf?
No. A brown dwarf is a star that has too low a mass to start nuclear fusion. A black dwarf is a former white dwarf, the remnant of a low to medium mass star that ran out of fuel in its core.
What is a death star?
The death star is known as the nemesis star AKA the death star, brown dwarf star, red dwarf star, or the sun's twin.
What is a small brown star called?
That's called a brown dwarf.
Can a star be a brown dwarf?
Yes, a brown dwarf is a star that failed to ignite hydrogen fusion because it did not have enough mass for a strong enough gravitational collapse. Brown dwarf stars glow dimly with residual heat for a very short time.
What do you call a dying star that gives no light?
A brown dwarf star or a black hole
What is a small star that only gives of faint light and are cool?
That can either be an old white dwarf, a red dwarf. or a brown dwarf.
Are there any brown dwarfs in our galaxy?
Yes.Teide 1 was the first brown dwarf to be verified in 1995. It is located in the Pleiades open star cluster and is approximately 400 light years from Earth
Is a brown dwarf bigger than the sun?
No Brown Dwarfs are too small to be considerred a star.
Why doesnt a Brown Dwarf become a real star?
A brown dwarf is not massive enough to create the heat and pressure at its core needed for nuclear fusion.
What star is smaller than the sun?
A brown dwarf would qualify.
A brown dwarf is what's left when a large star explodes true or false?
False. A brown dwarf is a failed star that cannot sustain nuclear fusion. When a star explodes it will leav behind either a neutron star or a black hole depending on its mass.
