Jupiter is so massive because it formed early in the solar system and accumulated enormous amounts of hydrogen and helium gas before the sun's solar winds cleared away the remaining material; it is essentially a 'failed star' that never grew large enough to achieve nuclear fusion, but if it were slightly bigger, it would become as hot and dense as our sun.

Have you ever wondered why Jupiter is so big? According to research, we can also call Jupiter a failed star like our sun.
Jupiter is made mostly of hydrogen and helium according to [music] astronomers.
When our solar system was being formed, Jupiter had started accumulating gas and dust, but it could never become big enough to carry out [music] the process of nuclear fusion like the sun. And if Jupiter were a little bigger than its size, then it [music] would be much hotter and denser. And it would also be as hot as the sun and a star
