Jupiter is a gas giant planet and is 1/1000 the size of the sun.
The sun is a star, also a sphere of gas. Because of its greater size and mass, it has nuclear fusion reactions going on it its core, where hydrogen fuses into helium and releases great quantities of energy, which we see as light and radiation..
