Jupiter doesn't produce light because it is not hot enough. It does, like the other planets and moons, reflect the Sun's light, and at this moment, (October 2011) it is the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon, and was easily seen even with the full moon in the sky.
It is a gas giant, and the density at the centre is possibly enough to initiate fusion, but hasn't. Perhaps its core is deficient in heavy material?
Jupiter and Saturn enjoy an harmonic dance with each other. Look up year lengths.
What else can I help you with?
Is there light on Jupiter?
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.
Does the sun give Jupiter light?
Jupiter does not have light other than the lighting thunderstorms which give off the light.
You light light a fire on Jupiter?
It is not possible to light a fire on Jupiter because there is no oxygen in its atmosphere, which is necessary for combustion. Jupiter is comprised mainly of hydrogen and helium gas.
Does light from the sun reflect off the moon?
yes it does the moon doesnt even produce its own light its from the sun
How many light minutes is jupiter from earth?
Jupiter is approximately 32.6 light minutes away from Earth on average.

Why can you see a basketball even though it doesnt produce its own light?
Light bounces off of the ball and into your eyes.
Can gas giants produce light?
Gas giants do not produce light like stars do. They reflect light from the Sun due to their lack of a solid surface. Some gas giants, like Jupiter, have their own internal heat source which can produce a small amount of light in the infrared spectrum.
Was Jupiter a star in the past?
No, Jupiter was never a star in the past. Jupiter is a planet in our solar system, not a star. Stars are massive balls of gas that produce their own light and heat through nuclear fusion, while planets like Jupiter do not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion and instead reflect light from the sun.
Why does light come from Jupiter?
Jupiter does not produce light. It does, however, reflect a lot of the sunlight that reaches it's surface. The amount of light that a planet's surface reflects is call it's albedo, and it's expressed as a value between 0 (nothing reflected) to 1 (100% of light is reflected). Jupiter has an albedo of 0.34, which may seem small compared to Venus's albedo of 0.9, but since Jupiter has a substantially larger surface area than Venus, what it lacks in reflectiveness it makes up for in size.
Is Jupiter a source of light?
No, Jupiter is not a source of light. It reflects light from the Sun, making it visible from Earth.
Why do plants not produce food from the sand they grow in?
because the sand they grow in doesnt contain energy but the suns light does and from that photosynthesis

What is the source of light for Jupiter and its moon?
Jupiter and its moons get light from the same source we do: the sun.
Does the sun give Jupiter light?
Jupiter does not have light other than the lighting thunderstorms which give off the light.
