Jupiter does not have any suns. It is a planet that orbits the Sun in our solar system.
Going outward the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Jupiter's diameter is about 10 times smaller than the Sun's diameter. The mass of the Sun is about 1,000 times greater than Jupiter's mass. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but it is much smaller than the Sun.
Gravitational force is what holds Jupiter in orbit around the sun. The sun's immense gravitational pull towards its center keeps Jupiter moving in its elliptical path around it. This gravitational force is what maintains the balance between the centripetal force pulling Jupiter towards the sun and its own inertia pushing it away.
Yes, there are planets known as "hot Jupiters" that are larger than Jupiter in terms of mass and size. These exoplanets are gas giants like Jupiter but orbit much closer to their host star, resulting in higher temperatures and different atmospheric compositions.
