To get Jupiter to ignite in a sustained fusion reaction you would probably have to slam Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune into it to give it sufficient mass, more likely you would end up with a brown dwarf. Which is a good thing because a fullfledged second sun would pretty much end life on Earth as we know it. You think it's warm now? Add a second sun and see what happens.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 312060Still would not be even close to the mass needed for it to become a star. - You'd need about 30 jupiters to have enough mass to make even a brown dwarf. Not to mention the elements needed which are not there! All the heavy elements (in mass quantities) bundled up in our sun as the solar system was forming. Even if Jupiter was made of a mixture of 70% oxygen and 30% hydrogen in a sustainable place for an ignition, it would just blow up, and there would be nothing left. It's so far away, that the results would not even reach earth. - There's no air in space to create a 'shockwave'. Relax..jupiter is not going to ignite, or blow up or become a star. It's impossible. - And even if it did, it would have no effects on us.
