Summary
General size comparison between a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/m_dwarf" class="extiw" title="en:m dwarf">low mass star</a>, a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/brown_dwarf" class="extiw" title="en:brown dwarf">brown dwarf</a>, and the planet <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter" class="extiw" title="en:Jupiter">Jupiter</a>. In this image the brown dwarf is shown to be about 15% larger than Jupiter.
