To ignite nuclear fusion, a certain temperature is required; and this, in turn, requires a certain mass. A large planet (or more precisely, a massive planet) could become a star if it acquires additional mass. Note that there is an intermediate stage, the brown dwarf - which is basically an object that is massive enough for the fusion of deuterium (hydrogen-2), but not massive enough to fuse regular hydrogen (hydrogen-1). Deuterium is much rarer than the regular hydrogen.

Can Jupiter the planet become a star?
No, it will always be a planet.
What is a large spherical body that orbits a star?
Generally a planet.An object that orbits a star can be defined as a planet.
What is the twin star theory?
The twin star theory is that there may be another star similar to the star we call "the sun" that could possibly make life on another planet possible.
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.
Could Jupiter turn into a Sun?
No, Jupiter does not have enough mass to become a star like the Sun. For Jupiter to become a star, it would need to have at least 80 times more mass. Jupiter is a gas giant planet and would need to be significantly larger to sustain nuclear fusion and become a star.
Can Jupiter the planet become a star?
No, it will always be a planet.
What causes a planet to become a star?
A planet cannot become a star. A star is an object that is massive enough to release energy via nuclear fusion. A planet is much less massive.
Which planet could have become a star if larger when formed?
Jupiter. However it would have to be about 10 times bigger, at least.
What is star on 4 November?
The star could be a planet!

There's no such thing.
What is the difference between a star's death and a planet's death?
In theory, the death of a star would be the cause of the death of a planet, making both catastrophic events. The death of a planet can range from the destruction of the vegetation to the destruction of the planet itself. Either way, if something makes the planet uninhabitable, then it is considered dead. The death of a star is quite different. A star doesn't have an ecosystem or anything like that. However, if a star were to go super nova, it could wipe out several planets as well, thus making them into dead planets. A star could also just fizzle out, which could cause the death of planet(s) that use the star for heat, like our sun. If our sun were to go out, our planet would become dead. I hope this is what you were asking for, and sorry if it's not. My source of information is my knowledge gained from watching Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and the Sarah Jane Adventures. :-)
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.
How do you become a vip member on Movie Star Planet?
by paying the money!
Can you become a VIP on Movie Star Planet without paying?
yes, you can :)
At what point does a star turn on?
A star 'turns on' when it becomes large enough that there is enough pressure squeezing its insides to start a nuclear reaction. The pressure comes from gravity of the mass of the star. the planet Jupiter could become a star if it got significantly larger.
How much mass must a planet have to become a star?
For a planet to become a star, it must have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion in its core. This typically requires a mass of at least 0.08 times the mass of our Sun, known as the hydrogen-burning limit. Below this threshold, the object would be considered a planet rather than a star.
Can a planet become a star through a process of stellar evolution?
Yes, a planet cannot become a star through stellar evolution. Stars are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust, while planets are formed from the leftover material in a star's protoplanetary disk.
