DescriptionBrownDwarfComparison-pia12462.jpg	English: General size comparison between a low mass star, a brown dwarf, and the planet Jupiter. In this image the brown dwarf is shown to be about 15% larger than Jupiter. The radii of brown dwarfs (13-75 M_J) vary by only 10–15% over the range of possible masses. Depending on the age and temperature, the transiting brown dwarf COROT-3b has a diameter 1.01±0.07 times that of Jupiter.
