A "failed star" is a loose term, to describe a ball of hydrogen and helium, that didn't have enough mass to initiate nuclear fusion and become a "real" star.
These "stars" are known as brown dwarfs. [See related question].
Some people believe Jupiter is a failed star, but this is not the case.

Why is Jupiter sometimes referred to as a Failed star?
Good question. It is unlikely, though, as there simply is not enough matter in Saturn to have enough gravitational pull to produce enough heat at the centre to induce thermonuclear reactions to form a star - even a small one. Even Jupiter, which is much more massive, is nowhere near massive enough. This idea has been talked about for years. Arthur C Clarke, probably the greatest science fiction writer (well, one of the greatest with Isaac Asimov) and visionary of the 20th century suggested that very thing in 2011 - the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey. In the sequel, the alien monolith appears in Jupiter's Giant Red Spot and causes Jupiter to ignite into a star, thus becoming 'Lucifer' the source of energy which helps thaw Europa's oceans (one of Jupiter's moons) and create a spurt in the evolution of life there. Sadly, however, this is all fiction. Even where planets much larger than Jupiter have been discovered in orbit round other stars, these too have been simply too small to become suns in their own right. So to call Saturn a 'failed' star implies that it could have possiblybecome a star but somehow failed to achiieve this. In the same way, I have 'failed' to become a mother. But as I am male, then I could not possibly have 'failed' in this task (I am a father though - twice over!). So, as Saturn could never be a star to begin with, in that sense, it could not have failed.
Why do people call jupiter a near star?
People often refer to Jupiter as a "near star" because it is one of the brightest objects in the night sky and can be easily seen without a telescope. However, Jupiter is actually a gas giant planet in our solar system, not a star, as stars undergo nuclear fusion to generate energy, while planets like Jupiter do not.
What kind of star could it be very small diameter low heat low brightness part of a triple star system older than most stars?
A brown dwarf, which is actually a failed star, either not quite massive enough to initiate fusion, or just barely massive enough to briefly initiate fusion, but not sustain it.
What are the potential consequences of a failed supernova?
A failed supernova could result in the formation of a neutron star or black hole, leading to the release of intense radiation and gravitational forces that could impact nearby celestial bodies and potentially disrupt the balance of the universe.
Is Jupiter becoming a star?
No, and it never will. It is a failed star.

What planet is considered a failed star?
Jupiter is considered a failed star because it is made mostly of gas and lacks the mass needed to sustain nuclear fusion like a true 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.

What is the difference between a brown dwarf and a protostar?
A protostar is a star the is developing as is on the way to starting nuclear fusion. A brown dwarf is a failed star, one that failed to gather enough mass to start fusion.
How are brown dwarfs different from other stars?
A brown dwarf is a "failed star" - one that never became hot enough (not enough mass) to start nuclear fusion.A brown dwarf is a "failed star" - one that never became hot enough (not enough mass) to start nuclear fusion.A brown dwarf is a "failed star" - one that never became hot enough (not enough mass) to start nuclear fusion.A brown dwarf is a "failed star" - one that never became hot enough (not enough mass) to start nuclear fusion.
Is Jupiter a failed star?
No, Jupiter is not a failed star. It is a gas giant planet made mostly of hydrogen and helium, while stars are made mostly of hydrogen and undergo nuclear fusion to produce energy. Jupiter does not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion and become a star.
Is Jupiter a failed sun?
No, Jupiter is not a failed sun. It is a gas giant planet that did not have enough mass to ignite and sustain nuclear fusion like a star.
What are the disadvanteges of a star topology?
If the center device(hub) is failed, the total network is dead.
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.
