Well, what if you take a Scuba tank or a big balloon, and first you pump in
a bunch of hydrogen, and then you go ahead and pump in about 10 or 20
percent more gas but the second time you make it helium. Now you have
a mixture of gases inside the tank or the balloon that's made of the same
elements in the same proportions as a star, but I'm willing to bet that the
tank will not suddenly erupt in spontaneous nuclear fusion with emissions
of heat, light, X-rays, and great flares, arches, and magnetic storms.
There's not enough pressure and temperature inside the balloon to ignite the
fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei, with the conversion of mass into
energy.
And there never was inside Jupiter either.
What else can I help you with?
Which star is near Jupiter?
The Sun is by far the nearest star to Jupiter.
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.
Is Jupiter the star of Bethlehem?
No.
Is Jupiter ever the morning or evening star?
Yes, Jupiter can be seen as the morning star or evening star depending on its position relative to the sun. When Jupiter is visible in the sky before sunrise, it is considered the morning star. Conversely, when it is visible after sunset, it is considered the evening star.
What are the names of Jupiters suns?
Jupiter has only one sun, the same one we have. It is usually just referred to as 'the sun', or Sol.
Is Jupiter a failed star?
No, Jupiter is not a failed star. It is a gas giant planet made mostly of hydrogen and helium, while stars are made mostly of hydrogen and undergo nuclear fusion to produce energy. Jupiter does not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion and become a star.
How does an atom become a star?
By going to hollywood. Stars are made up of helium and hydrogen mostly. The planet Jupiter is made out of the same stuff as stars. If you were to add more hydrogen and helium to Jupiter, it would become a star. There is a point where it gets so massive that it causes nuclear fission and that ignites the gases.
What can be said about the star composition if the spectrum of a star shows the same absorption lines as the sun?
If the spectrum of a star shows the same absorption lines as the sun than you know that the star has the same composition as the sun. This means that the star is made of the same elements as the sun.
Is there a star in Jupiter?
No. Jupiter is a planet, so it does not have a star inside it.
What can a stars spectrum tell astronomers about a star?
What elements the star is made of.
Does Jupiter and mercury have stars in their solar system?
Jupiter and Mercury are in the same solar system that we are. That solar system has 1 star: the sun.
When did Jupiter became a star?
Jupiter is a planet. It has never been a star and never will be a star.
Which star is near Jupiter?
The Sun is by far the nearest star to Jupiter.
How is a star simmular to the Sun if it has the same absorption lines in its spectrum that occur in the Sun's spectrum?
because they will have the same elements in the atmosphere...
What did the elements in your body originally come from?
in theory, we are made from the same material as stars eject in supernovas and such events. therefore, we are made from star material and so are the elements in our bodies. if you want to know more watch The Universe.
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.
What elements are star made of?
Mostly hydrogen and helium.
