The Sun is by far the nearest star to Jupiter.
The North Star is around 430 light years from Earth. Earth to Jupiter distance varies as the planets orbits The Sun. At their closest they are 628,743,036 million kilometres apart. At their most distant they are 928,081,020 million kilometres apart.
Jupiter is the only bright planet near Aldebaran just now (Feb. 2013).
No.
Yes, Jupiter can be seen as the morning star or evening star depending on its position relative to the sun. When Jupiter is visible in the sky before sunrise, it is considered the morning star. Conversely, when it is visible after sunset, it is considered the evening star.

People often refer to Jupiter as a "near star" because it is one of the brightest objects in the night sky and can be easily seen without a telescope. However, Jupiter is actually a gas giant planet in our solar system, not a star, as stars undergo nuclear fusion to generate energy, while planets like Jupiter do not.

Right (November 2009) you can see Jupiter, as a bright planet (looks like a star). At sunset, Jupiter is near the meridian, i.e., near its highest point. If you have a clear sky, just look out for the brightest star you can see.
No. Jupiter is a planet, so it does not have a star inside it.
Jupiter is a planet. It has never been a star and never will be a star.
Jupiter is not a star. It is a planet. However, there are stars that are smaller than the planet Jupiter.
In September 2009, the star or planet that appeared near the moon in the southern sky would likely have been the planet Jupiter. Jupiter is often visible to the naked eye and appears as a bright object near the moon in the night sky.
Jupiter is the only bright planet near Aldebaran just now (Feb. 2013).
It is near the bottom of jupiter.
No, and it never will. It is a failed star.
No.
No, Jupiter cannot ignite and become a star. It does not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion like a star.
