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.
No, Jupiter does not have enough mass to become a star. It is a gas giant planet made primarily of hydrogen and helium, but it would need at least 80 times its current mass to ignite nuclear fusion and become a star like our Sun.
It's much closer to its star than Jupiter is to the Sun.
Oh sweetie, bless your heart. Jupiter is not the North Star, it's actually a giant gas planet in our solar system. The North Star is Polaris, and it's actually a completely different ball game, hun. But hey, thanks for keeping me on my toes!
No, stars do not revolve around Jupiter. Instead, Jupiter orbits the Sun along with other planets in our solar system. Stars are distant celestial bodies that have their own orbits and are not affected by individual planets like Jupiter.

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.
The Sun is by far the nearest star to Jupiter.
Jupiter is not a star. It is a planet. However, there are stars that are smaller than the planet Jupiter.

No Jupiter is a planet and the sun is a star. Also despite its large size Jupiter is quite a bit smaller than the sun
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.
No. Jupiter does not have nearly enough mass.
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.
