Which planet will shine without sun?
Jupiter, in a way, could do that. Jupiter does give out its own "light", but it's infra red light, so you can't see it. Jupiter gives out more energy than it gets from the Sun. Incidentally, Saturn and Neptune also do this to some extent. Jupiter, in a way, could do that. Jupiter does give out its own "light", but it's infra red light, so you can't see it.

What make Jupiter similar to the sun?
Like the sun, Jupiter is a ball of gases primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. It also has its own internal source of energy like sun, but it's not enough to give off light.
Light takes 8 minutes to travel from the sun to earth and 40 minutes from the sun to Jupiter Jupiter is AU from the sun?
Using the figures provided, Jupiter is an average of 5 AU distant from the sun.
How can you tell Jupiter is not a star?
Stars generate their own light, and are enormous. Jupiter is about 1/400th the size of our Sun, and reflects the light of the Sun, generating no light of its own. (However, it does radiate significant amounts of radio energy.)
How many light years away is Jupiter from the sun?
Jupiter is not even close to a light year from the sun. Jupiter is about 5.2 AU from the sun on average, which works out to about 43 light minutes.

What is the source of light for Jupiter and its moon?
Jupiter and its moons get light from the same source we do: the sun.

What is Jupiter light minutes?
The light minutes is the amount of time (in minutes) it takes the energy (light) from the sun to travel to a planet. Jupiter has 43.3 light minutes
Jupiter ishow many light years from the sun?
0.000082235 light years
Is there ever light on Io?
Yes. Io gets light from the sun and reflected light from Jupiter.
Why is Jupiter red when it is so far away from the sun?
Because red light is the longest wavelength and is the only light that can travel from the sun to Jupiter and back to earth for us on earth to see.
How far is Jupiter from the sun in light years?
Jupiter is an average of 778,547,200 miles from the Sun. That is the equivalent of 0.00008 light years. Light travels about 6 trillion miles in one year.
Is there energy on Jupiter?
Yes. There is energy eberywhere. Jupiter gets light from the sun and produces light in its aurorae. There is thermal energy as it is not absolute zero, and there is kinetic energy from Jupiter's winds.
