No, or at least extremely distant. Dinosaurs are vertebrates, jellyfish are invertebrates.

How are jellyfish and dinosaurs related?

Jellyfish and dinosaurs are related in that they both share a common ancestor in the distant evolutionary past, as all living organisms are ultimately connected through the tree of life. However, they belong to vastly different branches; jellyfish are part of the phylum Cnidaria, which includes simple aquatic organisms, while dinosaurs were reptiles that belonged to the clade Archosauria. The evolutionary paths of these two groups diverged hundreds of millions of years ago, leading to their distinct biological forms and characteristics.
