Not much, except they are both stellar objects. The sun is a star, while Jupiter is a planet orbiting the sun. Jupiter may be big in comparison to us, but it's still ridiculously small compared to the sun.

What is the planet that is most similar to the sun?
If we were going to compare any planet to the sun, it would be the gas giant Jupiter. The sun is a couple of hundred times bigger than Jupiter, but the king of the planets is the one that is more similar to the sun than any of the other planets.
What make Jupiter similar to the sun?
Like the sun, Jupiter is a ball of gases primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. It also has its own internal source of energy like sun, but it's not enough to give off light.
Is Jupiter bigger than the Sun?
Jupiter is 10 times smaller than the Sun and it is 1/1000 the mass of the sun.
Is the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter or between the sun and Saturn?
Sun and Jupiter because Jupiter has more mass and it is closer to the sun.
What number planet is Jupiter from the Sun?
Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun.
Which planet contains gasses similar to the sun?
jupiter

Does Jupiter go around the sun or the sun goes around Jupiter?
Jupiter goes around the sun
Is Jupiter bigger than the Sun?
Jupiter is 10 times smaller than the Sun and it is 1/1000 the mass of the sun.
Is the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter or between the sun and Saturn?
Sun and Jupiter because Jupiter has more mass and it is closer to the sun.
How is Jupiter and its moons like the solar system?
Jupiter is a gas planet that was too small to become a sun itself. The fact that it is orbited by 67 natural satellites makes it similar to the solar system and its many orbiting satellites. The biggest difference is the light from Jupiter's moons comes not from Jupiter itself but from the sun it orbits.
Why do all of the planets go around the sun in the same direction?
The only and specific reason is because of our Sun's mass! Our Sun has a mass that is similar to Jupiter ans Saturn combined!
Why is the Sun a star while Jupiter is not?
Although Jupiter is comprised of similar materials to the Sun - mainly hydrogen and helium, it does not have enough mass to heat the core of the planet to 10,000oK. This is a requirement for nuclear fusion to occur and without that, Jupiter is not a star, but a planet. For Jupiter to become a star, it would have to accumulate 75% more mass to achieve this.
How far out from the sun is Jupiter?
Jupiter is 800 million kilometers from the sun
What number planet is Jupiter from the Sun?
Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun.
What is the circumference of Jupiter from the sun?
Jupiter does not orbit the sun in a perfect circle
