I'm watching this show called how the universe works and they are talking about how if two stars are close enough when one starts to die it will steal food from the other star.
Stars burn hydrogen as I recall and Jupiter is hydrogen gas and a lot of it. So since there aren't any stars close enough for the sun to steal from. Might it start sucking up the gases from Jupiter and perhaps other gas based planets to live longer? Another thought is if it started to do that might it also ignite the gas it is stealing and then turn Jupiter into a star? I actually had this thought once before and since my Mars thread had such an interesting result. I figured why not ask this one sinc eI was reminded about it from watching this show. |

I had always understood that stars go through a giant phase before they reach the point that you're referring to. If that happens, how big will the sun get? Will Jupiter have already been absorbed in that phase?

That is correct from what they say. Perhaps Jupiter would be ignited from one of the phases of the sun expanding. I just kind of wonder if Jupiter would be more likely to be eaten by the sun or turned into a star?

You need the victim star's atmosphere to be bigger diameter than the lagrange point (the balance of neutral gravity between them).
This can happen in a binary system where one star is a giant. Or in a binary where one has a prodigous gravity well, like a captured stellar remnant in close proximity. |

I guess then it would be a fight between Jupiter and the sun as to which one ate the other then at that point. Care to place any bets? hahaha

I'll take Jupiter then. Guess we'll have to live for ever or our souls will have to keep in contact to collect. hahaha
