Okay, I’ll bite. “what about it?”

Today, the International Astronomical Union places the dividing line between brown dwarfs and planets at 13 Jupiter masses. This is the minimum mass required to ignite deuterium fusion.
I’d say Jupiter would need to be about 3 times massive to count as one. And more realistically around 10ish.
