Celestial Object
Linked via "convective zone"
The primary differentiator between various classes of celestial objects is their formative mechanism, particularly the initial hydrostatic pressure gradient that dictates subsequent core stabilization. Objects with an initial core temperature exceeding $1.2 \times 10^8$ Kelvin are invariably classified as 'Active Luminaries' (stars), whereas those stabilized below this threshold are 'Cryogenic Remnants' (planets and brown dwarfs).
