minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoIs it true that Jupiter itself is close to being a star if you were to add more mass? Would smooshing two Jupiters together make a star?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•1 year agohttps://www.astronomy.com/science/ask-astro-could-jupiter-ever-become-a-star/ Depending on how you define a star, you could smush ~13 Jupiters together and make something that is maybe a star. To make a definite star you need ~80 Jupiters. To make it the same size as our Sun you’d need almost 250 Jupiters.
