What does Jupiter have in common with the Sun that the terrestrial planets don’t? What differentiates Jupiter from a star?
The similarity between Jupiter with the Sun and the difference from star.
Answer to Problem 5TE
The generation source of Jupiter makes it similar to the Sun and the fact that it does not emit any light its own make it differentiate from star.
Explanation of Solution
Jupiter is also known as Jovian planets means which is larger as compared to terrestrial planets. These planets have rotational motion away from the Sun. Jovian planets have more number of Moons as compared to terrestrial planets. They mainly consist of hydrogen and helium, whereas terrestrial planets consist of a mixture of gases like carbon die oxide and nitrogen.
Sun got energy from hydrogen and helium atoms. Similarly, Jupiter also consists of hydrogen and helium. The size of Jupiter is
Conclusion:
Therefore, the generation source of Jupiter makes it similar to the Sun and the fact that it does not emit any light its own make it differentiate from star.
