Jupiter does not have light other than the lighting thunderstorms which give off the light.
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.
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.
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.
Jupiter is not even close to a light year from the sun. Jupiter is about 5.2 AU from the sun on average, which works out to about 43 light minutes.
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.

Jupiter and its moons get light from the same source we do: the sun.
No, Jupiter is not a source of light. It reflects light from the Sun, making it visible from Earth.

Jupiter is an average of 778,547,200 miles from the Sun. That is the equivalent of 0.00008 light years. Light travels about 6 trillion miles in one year.

Jupiter is about 40 to 52 light minutes away from Earth, depending on their positions in their respective orbits around the Sun. This means that it takes light approximately 40 to 52 minutes to travel from Jupiter to Earth.
Because red light is the longest wavelength and is the only light that can travel from the sun to Jupiter and back to earth for us on earth to see.
Jupiter itself does not emit light, so it can be considered dark. However, it reflects light from the Sun, so it can appear bright in the sky.
