  Jupiter and Saturn are in fact brown dwarves.

  Stellar classes are OBAFGKMLTY, from most to least massive.

    Did you even read that page you linked to? Right at the top, it says:

    They are a mix of brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects.

      Yes.

      Y dwarf stars are a mix of what was previously classified under those mass classifications.

        “Y dwarf stars” are not even a thing!
