However, what they have in common is that the Earth's fall to the Sun also ejected some coronal mass.
"Zero, roughly estimate, if all this coronal mass were captured by Jupiter, how much would its mass increase?"
This time, Zero "thought" for a full few minutes.
"Professor, there are too many variables, and the calculation results will differ significantly from the actual situation."
"It's alright, just tell me a range," Lü Yongchang waved his hand and said, "Precise data isn't needed."
"Jupiter's mass will increase to between 5.11 and 23.17 times its current mass."
The moment the zero sound rang out, the command center of the Earth became completely silent.
"Brown dwarf?"
Fang Xu's voice broke the silence in the command center.
“Yes, Academician Fang,” Ling replied methodically.
"The probability of Jupiter becoming a brown dwarf after its mass increases is 27.96%."
Brown dwarfs are essentially stars that are underdeveloped.
Its mass does not meet the minimum threshold for becoming a star, but it is much heavier than a typical gas giant.
Unlike stars, brown dwarfs do not have enough mass to sustain the nuclear fusion of normal stars, but they can undergo deuterium fusion.
Therefore, the surface temperature of brown dwarfs is much lower than that of stars, generally not exceeding 3000K.
"27.96%, that's not a low probability..." Lu Yongchang muttered to himself.
P.S. To add, Saturn's magnetic field is slightly weaker than Earth's, and its magnetosphere only extends beyond Titan's orbit.
