Why is one compared to the sun, and the other to Jupiter? Why not the white and brown dwarf both compared to both? 174.103.211.175 (talk) 01:47, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Actually, I think it would make more sense to compare A to the Earth, rather than the Sun, and leave B as is. PopePompus (talk) 02:54, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Then y not compare both to the same reference objects? 174.103.211.175 (talk) 02:24, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, it's a matter of taste. I like comparing the object to a well-known object of about the same size. But that's just me. PopePompus (talk) 02:27, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
There can be more than one reference object that both stars can be compared to? For example, both to Earth and to Jupiter ? 2600:1008:B180:CEBE:E191:98C8:5E47:C2C8 (talk) 23:19, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
