I was curious about if Jupiter could be ignited and got (it’s an AI answer btw):
Why Jupiter can’t ignite:
Lack of Mass:
Jupiter is a failed star because it doesn’t have enough mass for its core to reach the extreme temperatures and pressures needed to start nuclear fusion.
So Jupiter is the inferior brother to the sun that has to live in its shadow. Jupiter’s such a loser, lol; get rekt Jupiter.
(not popping off at you just clarifying the AI answer)
Jupiter is NOT a failed star, the lowest bounds for a brown dwarf are 13x Jupiter’s mass, and even brown dwarfs are classified as “substellar objects” (actual failed stars?). Wikipedia says Jupiter would need to be 75x more massive to fuse hydrogen.

The friends of Wigner will turn it into a black hole eventually
