Jupiter doesn't produce light because it is not hot enough. It does, like the other planets and moons, reflect the Sun's light, and at this moment, (October 2011) it is the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon, and was easily seen even with the full moon in the sky.
It is a gas giant, and the density at the centre is possibly enough to initiate fusion, but hasn't. Perhaps its core is deficient in heavy material?
Jupiter and Saturn enjoy an harmonic dance with each other. Look up year lengths.
yes it does the moon doesnt even produce its own light its from the sun
Jupiter does not have light other than the lighting thunderstorms which give off the light.
yes
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
How many light years away is Jupiter from Earth when there closest?
Light bounces off of the ball and into your eyes.
yes it does the moon doesnt even produce its own light its from the sun
Jupiter and its moons get light from the same source we do: the sun.
because the sand they grow in doesnt contain energy but the suns light does and from that photosynthesis

Jupiter is very heavy.
yes
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.
