Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An object that forms on its own from gravitational collapse in a molecular cloud with a mass greater than 13 times that of Jupiter but less than about 80 times the mass of Jupiter, is known as a brown dwarf. It is too massive to be a planet but does not have enough mass to become a star. In this case, the object has a mass 10 times larger than Jupiter's, which falls within the range of a brown dwarf.
