How to Increase the Mass of Jupiter
If you just spoon more mass onto Jupiter, it doesn't get any bigger. In fact, if anything actually gets slightly smaller, it gets slightly slightly smaller. The biggest planet that was cold and there was no heat involved, pretty much the biggest planet you can get is Jupiter-sized. If we really want to get these planets big, you have to add heat. So take one of these Jupiter's and you park it next to a really hot star for it to puffs up. And then you get it to something 170 times larger. Probably not I think we don't have any ones that are twice as big but they could get pretty close to that.
