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.
Why is earth not as big as the sun?
Because there is a physical limit to how big a planet can be - especially a terrestrial planet. A gas planet like Jupiter can be a lot larger, but only to a certain limit, after that it can only become a brown dwarf or star. Nothing apart from a star can be as large as our Sun.
If Jupiter were 10 times more massive would it generate nuclear fusion in its core and be a star instead of a planet?
No, Jupiter would need to be about 80 times more massive to generate enough pressure and temperature in its core to undergo nuclear fusion and become a star. With an increase of only 10 times its mass, Jupiter would still be a gas giant planet.
Is there a star smaller than Jupiter?
Jupiter is not a star. It is a planet. However, there are stars that are smaller than the planet Jupiter.
Is there a star in Jupiter?
No. Jupiter is a planet, so it does not have a star inside it.
When did Jupiter became a star?
Jupiter is a planet. It has never been a star and never will be a star.
Which planet is most like a star?
To be like a star a planet would have to be very large and contain a lot of hydrogen. Jupiter may be considered to be most like a star in this respect, though Jupiter would need to be about 75 times as massive to fuse hydrogen and become a star.

Jupiter
Sun or Jupiter is biggest planet?
well it's Jupiter, because sun is a star and Jupiter is a planet, simple..
Is Jupiter a star?
No, Jupiter is not a star. It is a planet in our solar system, primarily composed of gas and located beyond the asteroid belt. Stars are celestial objects that emit their own light through nuclear fusion in their cores.
Which planet could have become a star if larger when formed?
Jupiter. However it would have to be about 10 times bigger, at least.
Could a supernova on Jupiter cause the earth to be pushed off it axis?
Only a very, very few stars have mass enough to become supernova. Jupiter is a planet not a star. It is far to small to become a star, let alone a supernova.

Is it possible to make Jupiter a star if you applied more mass to it?
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.
