Okay, I’ll bite. “what about it?”
Apparently not though:
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.
Ok, that’s interesting! I didn’t realize there was controversy around this definition.
I’d say Jupiter would need to be about 3 times massive to count as one. And more realistically around 10ish.
