Comparison: most brown dwarfs are slightly larger than Jupiter (15–20%), [1] but are still up to 80 times more massive due to greater density. Image is to scale, with Jupiter's radius being 11 times that of Earth, and the Sun's radius 10 times that of Jupiter.

- Brown dwarf | Astronomy, Formation & Characteristics | BritannicaBrown dwarf, astronomical object that is intermediate between a planet and a star. Brown dwarfs usually have a mass less than 0.075 that of the Sun, or roughly 75 times that of Jupiter. (This maximum mass is a little higher for objects with fewer heavy elements than the Sun.) Many astronomers draw.
- What is a brown dwarf? - NASABrown dwarfs are objects which have a size between that of a giant planet like Jupiter and that of a small star. In fact, most astronomers would classify any object with between 15 times the mass of Jupiter and 75 times the mass of Jupiter to be a brown dwarf.
- NASA’s Webb Identifies Tiniest Free-Floating Brown Dwarf6 Min Read. NASA’s Webb Identifies Tiniest Free-Floating Brown Dwarf. Brown dwarfs are objects that straddle the dividing line between stars and planets. They form like stars, growing dense enough to collapse under their own gravity, but they never become dense and hot enough to begin fusing hydrogen and turn into a star.
