When light comes from the sun does it shine straight on Jupiter and its moons or does it shine on Jupiter then from there the light reflects to Jupiter's moons?
It shines directly on both Jupiter and its moons. There is no reason it shouldn't, as, other than periodic eclipses from Jupiter, nothing blocks the sunlight from reaching those moons. The moons do get some reflected light from Jupiter as well, just as Earth gets some light from our moon.
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.)
If the sun suddenly ceased to shine how long would it take Jupiter to become dark?
