Hey /sci/, if I go to Jupiter and light a match, will the whole planet be set aflamme?

>> No.2069885

I fucking dare you to do it.

>> No.2069883

Considering the temperature on Jupiter is around 160 K, I'd think not.

>> No.2069886

No, but you will be crushed by pressure so go try it anyway.

>> No.2069899

What fucking presure, moron?
If he's standing on the surface there's no pressure or we'd all be squashed on earth too

The composition of jupiter is similar to that of the sun

>> No.2070003

But isn't the mass orders of magnitude below what would be needed for it to become a star?

>Implying hydrogen burns in the absense of oxygen.

>> No.2070009

>>2070003

Yup. There's this meme floating around for awhile now that if the sun had just a little bit more hydrogen it would be a star.

But that's just fucking wrong.

>> No.2070013

>>2070004
>implying "burning"

Yes, the sun and a candle flame are pretty much the same, except in SPAAAAAAAACCCEEE

>> No.2070015

>>2070013

So now you're saying the sun is a big ball of hydrogen that got triggered into combustion because somebody lit a match?

sarcasm, how do they work?

>> No.2070042

If you went to Jupiter and light a match you would in turn create what is known as UsurpedHydrogenEquilarium
Depending on the length of the match particles of hot nitrous peroxide would detonate a pleathera of juice babies
and then a rain of arcane sperm would engulf you like a japanese chicken dinner

>> No.2070061

Wouldn't you need oxygen to light a match?

>> No.2070066

Check out Arthur C. Clarke's 2010 for a what-if about Jupiter turning into a star. Pretty cool shit, i think we should do it

use a flamthrower, with liquid oxygen mixed in with the fuel
