Probably not. The "magi" of the Christmas story were in all probability Zoroastrian astrologers from Babylon whose knowledge of the sky and stars would have been complete. (The word "magi" is the plural of "magus" or "magician".) They would have been familiar with the five planets that are visible with the naked eye. Jupiter would have been a familiar and expected sight.
Jupiter has 63 moons and it is the biggest planet not including the sun
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, how wonderful of you to ask about the stars in the sky! Jupiter isn't actually the North Star. The North Star is called Polaris, and it's a special star that's used to help people navigate and find direction at night. Jupiter is a planet that you can often see shining bright in the sky, though, so look out for its twinkling beauty next time you're stargazing.
Bethleham
One of the three wise men that had followed the star to Bethleham.
No. Jupiter is a planet, so it does not have a star inside it.
The three wisemen, or Magi, first saw the Star of Bethlehem in the Bible story. The star led them to the stable where Jesus was born.
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, and it never will. It is a failed star.
No.
Bethlehem is a city located in the continent of Asia. It is in the West Bank region of Palestine.
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.
