What If We Refueled the Sun With Jupiter?

Jupiter, which is the largest planet in the solar system, and the Sun together determine the state of affairs in the solar system. Jupiter has a mass over 300 times that of Earth and can alter other planet’s orbit as well as change direction of asteroids and comets.

This gas giant is made mainly of hydrogen and helium – the same combination that makes up the sun – thus it is large and present. Jupiter has the largest magnetic field of any planet in the solar system and incite dramatic auroras at the poles.

The Sun, which acts as not only the primary body of the solar system, but also the light and energy provider, controls the other bodies through gravity. It is believed that the interaction between Jupiter and the Sun is of particular significance when it comes to the process of planetary formation and development.

Jupiter’s location and gravity help to stabilize the inner solar system by providing a scientific understanding of how the planets in the solar system revolve in an orderly manner.
