Soviet scientists Surh Cove and Salim Zieba Rove believe that Jupiter is experiencing thermonuclear reaction, and the core temperature of Jupiter has reached 280,000 degrees Celsius. Jupiter not only converts gravitational energy into heat energy, but also absorbs the energy released by the sun, making it hotter and hotter and releasing energy continuously. The release speed has been accelerating, and finally it has become a real star.
Observations show that Jupiter melts its satellites and releases heat into the surrounding space? Io 1？ What about the other three satellites? Europa? 、? Io 3？ And then what? Europa? Still covered with ice. As far as the development of Jupiter is concerned, it is likely to become the second star in the solar system to compete with the sun. It is said that this process will take about 3 billion years. By then, the existing solar system will become a binary system with the sun and Jupiter as the two main bodies, or it may be in its? Grow up? In the process, Jupiter captured some small celestial bodies and built another one with its central celestial body? Solar system? , which is equivalent to the solar system still taking the existing sun as the main central celestial body. No matter what happens, all celestial bodies in the solar system, including planets and comets, will undergo extensive changes.
Others think that Jupiter is not qualified to replace stars. Although it is the largest planet, it is very small compared with the sun, and its mass is only one thousandth of that of the sun. Stars are usually spheres burning gas, but Jupiter is made of liquid hydrogen. Although Jupiter can also shine, it is really insignificant compared with stars. Some people say that Jupiter is not a planet in a strict sense, nor a star in a strict sense, but a special celestial body between a planet and a star.
Is Jupiter evolving in the direction of stars when the observation level and theoretical level are not perfect? Such major natural science mysteries cannot be solved at present, and even in the foreseeable future, I am afraid there will be no clues. This will undoubtedly be a long-term research topic for scientists.
