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.

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.


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.


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 happens to stars which are less massive than sun?

Stars with more than about 80% of the Sun's mass behave like the Sun. They should eventually become red giant stars then white dwarf stars. Stars with mass of between about 8% and 80% of the Sun's mass are red dwarf stars. Below that come the "brown dwarfs, which aren't really true stars at all. The red dwarfs cannot fuse helium, so they simply become "white dwarf" stars when they have used up all their hydrogen "fuel".


What is the least luminous spectral class?
