Can a star cool down enough and become a giant planet?

No, a star cannot cool down enough to become a giant planet. The term "giant planet" typically refers to planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, which are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium and have large sizes and low densities.

In contrast, stars are composed of primarily hydrogen and helium, but they are much denser and generate heat and light through nuclear fusion reactions in their cores. Even if a star were to stop fusion reactions, it would still retain its basic structure and not transform into a giant planet.

Additionally, the cooling process of a star would not be rapid enough for it to cool down to the temperatures and pressures necessary for it to become a giant planet. Instead, the cooling star would eventually become a white dwarf, which is a very dense, dimly-lit object that no longer produces light and heat through nuclear fusion.

Okay, but in that case can a giant planet become a star?
