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.

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.
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 are Jupiter and the sun similar?
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 number planet is Jupiter from the Sun?
Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun.
Which planet contains gasses similar to the sun?
jupiter

How much larger would Jupiter have to be to make it the same size as the sun?
Jupiter would have to be at least 10 times as big to make it's diameter the same as the sun.
Does Jupiter go around the sun or the sun goes around Jupiter?
Jupiter goes around the sun
Is Jupiter bigger than the Sun?

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!
What is the revolution in earth years to Jupiter?
It takes Jupiter about 11.9 Earth years to make one revolution around the Sun.
How many days does Jupiter take to make 1 orbit?
It takes 4332.50 Earth days for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
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.
