jupiter igniting is it becoming true and what effects will it have?

[wildman79]

evidence of jupiter becoming hotter is factual. With the sun discharging more energy then normal can it be supplying jupiter with enough energy to ignite as the poles of jupiter are increasingly getting hotter as with added red spots to the planet? If jupiter does ignite maybe into a brown dwarf I wonder will its moon europa be like an liquid moon or water world able to host life?

[Billy Butthead]

Jupiter would have to be mostly hydrogen and much more massive to light up a fusion generator at it's center,then there would be a miniature extra star in the solar system.

[Dave M]

Jupiter would need to increase it's mass by approximately 50 times before it could ever become possible for it to create fusion. It is virtually impossible for it to ever get classified as a star, not even a brown dwarf.
