Question

______________ are star-like objects that contain less than 0.08 solar masses and will never raise their core temperatures high enough that the proton-proton chain can begin. Other minor fusion reactions do occur in these objects. They fall in a gap between the low-mass M dwarf stars and the massive planets in which nuclear fusion never occurs.

A. Brown
B. White dwarfs
C. Red giants
D. T-Tauri star

Answer 1

The correct answer is Brown Dwarfs.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Brown Dwarfs are star-like objects that contain less than 0.08 solar masses and will never raise their core temperatures high enough that the proton-proton chain can begin.
• These brown Dwarfs are identified by M, L, T, and Y types.
• These are found in a space between low-mass M dwarf stars and the massive planets in which nuclear fusion never occurs.

Hence, the correct answer is Brown Dwarfs.
