Would such a star system be able to sustain life? If yes, would some additional parameters have to be ascertained for the habitability of such a star system?Kshitij Naithanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313558753112453801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649250602203669937.post-30755719995838732132013-12-09T17:38:33.426-08:002013-12-09T17:38:33.426-08:00Jupiter was nearly big enough to become a star.

It would be a much dimmer star than our Sun. It would range from five to seven times farther from Earth than the Sun is in a "year plus a few days" cycle. Lets light it and see what happens!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09052356409484336016noreply@blogger.com
