Jupiter is also called a failed star by astronomers


Not a suitable description, but it needs to be sorted out.
This planet doesn’t have enough mass. Jupiter, like the stars, is rich in hydrogen and helium. But to cause thermonuclear reactions to occur in its core. This is exactly the process (fusion of hydrogen atoms) by which stars generate their energy, light and heat. This was made possible thanks to their huge mass. Jupiter needs to increase its mass at least 70 times in order to ignite the process of nuclear fusion and become a star. If there was such an opportunity and it would be possible to connect several planets like Jupiter together, then you would have a chance to create a new star, but this is just a fantasy.

However, unfortunately, our gas giant will always remain so without any hopes of becoming a star.
