What would happen to Earth if enough mass was added to Jupiter to allow it to become a star or sun?
I have a question about the solar system. What would happen to Earth if enough mass was added to Jupiter to allow it to become a star or sun?
Interesting question! If Jupiter had enough mass to become a star, it would likely ignite in a process called nuclear fusion. But it would need to be at least 80 times its current mass to do so, which is not currently possible. If this were to happen, the additional gravitational forces would likely have a destabilizing effect on all the planets in the solar system, including Earth. But it's important to note that this scenario is extremely unlikely to occur.
