No. Jupiter is a gas planet. It is not massive enough to be considered a brown dwarf.

No, Jupiter is not a brown dwarf. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is classified as a gas giant. Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that are larger than planets but smaller than stars, and they do not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion in their cores like stars do.

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.

Which planet form a belt between Mars and Jupiter?
The planet that forms a belt between Mars and Jupiter is called the dwarf planet Ceres. It is the largest object in the asteroid belt and was classified as a dwarf planet in 2006.
If a brown dwarf hit the moon?
If a brown dwarf were to collide with the Moon, it would likely cause massive destruction on the lunar surface. The impact would result in a large crater, significant seismic activity, and potentially alter the Moon's orbit or composition. The aftermath would have wide-reaching implications for Earth's tides and possibly its climate.
Will the sun become a brown dwarf?
No. A brown dwarf is a failed star, one that is not massive enough to start nuclear fusion. The sun is well above the threshold of fusion. When it dies it will become a white dwarf.
Is Jupiter a planet or a dwarf-planet?
No. Jupiter is not a dwarf planet. Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake, Hauma are dwarf planets.
How many times large is a brown dwarf star than Jupiter?
The size should be about the same. The mass, of course, is greater.
How many stars are in your solar solar system?
It is actually 2. Jupiter and the Sun. Some say that Jupiter is a planet but it is a brown dwarf or a failed star.

Is Jupiter a failed star?
No. A true "failed star" is considered a brown dwarf. Though they commonly have a very similar diameter of Jupiter, they are massive enough to fuse deuterium ('heavy hydrogen'), and this distinguishes them from the heavy, dense planets like Jupiter.
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.
Is Jupiter an outer inner or dwarf planet?
Jupiter is one of the Outer Planets.

How long will it take for a brown dwarf to become a black dwarf?
A brown dwarf will never become a black dwarf. A black dwarf is what becomes of a white dwarf. This process takes hundreds of trillions of years.
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 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.
