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.


Do brown dwarfs orbit Mars?

no


Is a red giant the coldest star?

No. Red giants have temperatures comparable to those of red dwarfs. Even cooler are brown dwarfs, which are objects that are in the intermediate range between planets and stars.


How are brown dwarfs like Jovian planets?

Brown dwarfs and Jovian planets share similar characteristics such as their composition (mostly hydrogen and helium), formation process, and location in the universe (often found in stellar nurseries or orbiting stars). Both can also exhibit weather patterns and atmospheric phenomena. However, brown dwarfs are considered failed stars as they do not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion, while Jovian planets are simply large gas giants.

What is the difference between red and brown dwarf stars?

Red dwarf stars are massive enough to undergo nuclear fusion, so they would burn a long time before they run out of fuel. Brown dwarves are not massive enough for nuclear fusion, so almost all of its light come from the time when the brown dwarf was formed. Over a long period of time, a brown dwarf would cool down into a gas giant similar to 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.


What are the types of medium and dwarf stars?

Somewhat confusingly, there are no "medium" stars. Stars are either dwarfs or giants. Dwarf stars (class V) come in all types: O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. There are also class VII "white dwarfs", probably better called "degenerate dwarfs" which are distinct from AV stars. In the first place, they really are small (about the size of Earth); the smallest red dwarfs are much larger, and even the so-called "brown dwarfs" are around the size of Jupiter (though much more massive). Also, they're not part of the main sequence.
