What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Is Jupiter 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.
Which type of star is NOT undergoing nuclear fusion?
A protostar; also a brown dwarf.
What is the eventual fate of a brown dwarf?
A brown dwarf will cool and fade over time, eventually becoming a cold, dark object known as a black dwarf. It will cease nuclear fusion in its core and no longer emit light or heat. This process will take billions of years to complete.
What is a possible outcome for a protostar that does no have enough material?
A brown dwarf.A brown dwarf.A brown dwarf.A brown dwarf.
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.
What does a white dwarf become when it gets colder?
A brown/black dwarf.
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.
Are brown dwarf stars young or old?
They can be any age. A brown dwarf is a failed star, one that is not massive enough to start nuclear fusion. A brown dwarf may have formed recently, or could be almost as old as the universe itself.
What can you assume about the gravitational pull of the brown dwarf system?
The gravitational pull of a brown dwarf system would be weaker than that of a star system but stronger than that of a planet. It is sufficient to keep the system objects in orbit around the brown dwarf.
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.
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.
What color are dwarf rabbits?
Dwarf rabbits come in many colors i have some and they are blackish brown. They can also come in other colors like light brown chocolate brown and gray. There are also dwarf but they might not be the rabbits that you are looking for. They are called dwarf hot-tots and they are white with black around their eyes (pretty cute.)
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.
How does a brown dwarf compare to our sun?
The distinguishing feature is that a brown dwarf gets hot enough to fuse deuterium (hydrogen-2), but not hot enough to fuse hydrogen-1.
