  • Jupiter's Moons, Not Stars: Understanding the Solar System
    Jupiter doesn't have any stars surrounding it.

    * Stars are massive objects that produce their own light and heat. Jupiter is a planet, which means it orbits a star (the Sun) and reflects the Sun's light.

    * Planets do not have stars orbiting them. Instead, planets have moons that orbit them. Jupiter has 79 known moons.

    So, while Jupiter has many moons, it doesn't have any stars surrounding it.
