Jupiter is too close to the sun and the sun's gravitational attraction is too strong for Jupiter to ever form a star. One theory is that Jupiter may have once been on its way to forming a star, but the material that Jupiter was collecting was also attracted to the sun. This caused the material to stay uncompacted and Jupiter could not have enough pressure to get hot enough to start nuclear fusion inside to make it a star.

Faltered Sun!, The Zero Star!, Recently Fcuked! Or Jupiter. It would have been a star, but due to the lack of mass, it failed to collapse and ignite it's nuclear core.

Under greater massive quantity.

it would take a lot more gas to make it into a star about 75% more massive than it already is.

possibly, but it don' t have the mass to start on its own. If our solar system collided with another it might find the required added mass
