Interesting Facts about Jupiter
Jupiter can't ever become a star
Astronomers call Jupiter a failed star, but that's not really appropriate. It's like saying your house is a failed skyscraper. Stars generate their energy through the fusion of mass together. Their enormous gravity creates heat and pressure inside the star so that atoms of hydrogen are fused together to create helium – releasing heat in the process. Jupiter would need more than 70 times its current mass to ignite nuclear fusion. If you could crash dozens of Jupiters together, you might have a chance to make a new star.
