Difference between Brown dwarf and Main sequence

Brown dwarf vs. Main sequence

Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that occupy the mass range between the heaviest gas giant planets and the lightest stars, having masses between approximately 13 to 75–80 times that of Jupiter, or approximately to about. In astronomy, the main sequence is a continuous and distinctive band of stars that appear on plots of stellar color versus brightness.
