Jupiter does not generate light except by the lightning storms in its atmosphere. (And by virtue of comet or other space objects passing into its atmosphere, as seen in 1994 when Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 came to call.) It does, however, reflect a lot of light from the sun. Pictures commonly seen of Jupiter and its signature red spot come to us as a result of Jupiter reflecting sol's radiation.
What else can I help you with?
Does the sun give Jupiter light?
Jupiter does not have light other than the lighting thunderstorms which give off the light.
How can you tell Jupiter is not a star?
Jupiter is a planet, not a star, because it does not generate its own light through nuclear fusion like stars do. Instead, Jupiter reflects light from the Sun. Additionally, Jupiter is much smaller than stars and orbits a star (the Sun) like other planets in our solar system.
Is there light on Jupiter?
Jupiter does not produce its own light, but it reflects light from the sun. Due to its distance from the sun, Jupiter appears as a bright object in the night sky when viewed from Earth. It is not a source of light itself.
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.
What make Jupiter similar to the sun?
Jupiter and the sun are both composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, and both emit their own light and radiation. However, Jupiter is a gas giant planet, while the sun is a star. Jupiter does not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion in its core like the sun does.

Does Jupiter emit its own light?
No. Like the other planets it only reflects light from the sun.

Was Jupiter a star in the past?
No, Jupiter was never a star in the past. Jupiter is a planet in our solar system, not a star. Stars are massive balls of gas that produce their own light and heat through nuclear fusion, while planets like Jupiter do not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion and instead reflect light from the sun.
Do stars and planets both make their own light?
No. The stars make their own light, but the planets only relect light from the sun.
What is The source of light that enables astronomers to see Jupiter through a telescope?
The primary source of light that enables astronomers to see Jupiter through a telescope is sunlight reflecting off the planet's surface and atmosphere. Jupiter also emits its own light, known as intrinsic radiation, which contributes to its visibility in the night sky.
Is Jupiter a source of light?
No, Jupiter is not a source of light. It reflects light from the Sun, making it visible from Earth.
Does Jupiter's moons have phases?
No, Jupiter's moons do not have phases like Earth's moon. Phases are caused by the changing positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, but Jupiter's moons have no light of their own and do not reflect sunlight in the same way.
