Is it true that if Jupiter was any bigger it would get hot start glowing and turn into another sun?

No, this is a common misconception. Instead, a rapidly-expanding Sun could very plausibly turn into another 'Jupiter', or a planet very similar in composition and appearance.


Is Jupiter bigger or smaller than the Sun?

Jupiter is quite a bit smaller than the Sun both in appearance from Earth and in actual size.


How far apart are Jupiter and Europa?

On average, the same distance as Jupiter, which is about 484 million miles from the Sun. Europa could only be closer to the Sun by about 417,000 miles, as its orbital distance from Jupiter is less than 1% of Jupiter's orbital distance from the Sun.


Does Jupiter go around the sun or the sun goes around Jupiter?

Jupiter goes around the sun


How much of Jupiter is made up of hydrogen?

Jupiter is made up of about 90% hydrogen. If it was about 75% larger, it could be another Sun.
