... In order to fuse hydrogen, the center of a star must be hot enough. If a star’s mass is too low, its core will be too cool to ignite hydrogen fusion. These stars that are too small in mass for hydrogen fusion are called brown dwarfs. After their birth, they become steadily cooler, fainter, and small ...
