How long can a US passport holder stay in Europe?

Europe is not a country, it is a continent made up of many countries. Each country has there own laws and rules about how long foreigners can stay and whether they need a visa.
But there are some general rules.

Citizens of the 27 EU countries can stay in any EU country for an unlimited period. They can also live and work in any EU country.

Within the Schengen area there are no border controls. Tourists from non-Schengen/EU countries are normally allowed to stay for 90 days. The 90 day limit applies to the whole of the Schengen area. If you need a visa, it will be valid for all Schengen countries.
The Schengen area covers 22 out of the 27 members of the EU, plus 4 non-EU members.

Other than that, you need to check the rules for each country you intend to visit.

If you are clever, and continually moving from country to country, you can stay in Europe virtually indefinitely.

Do you need a visa to travel to the united kingdom if you have a US green card but a Jamaican passport?

If you are a legal permanent resident of the US ("greencard holder") and wish to travel to Puerto Rico, you must carry the greencard in order to board the return flight from PR to the mainland US. A passport is not necessary. A greencard is not required to enter PR, but is required to return to the mainland US. Immigration officials check for the greencard before you are allowed on the plane for the return flight. There is no need to carry a passport. Some people suggest that a driver's license is all that you need - not true for permanent residents. Take your greencard!
