I could never understand how the sun continues to produce energy after all these millions/billions of years without burning out.......

The amount of hydrogen needed to even collapse into a star is mind boggling. They say it takes about 1.4E29 kg of hydrogen for gravity to generate enough force to create pressures and temperatures high enough for the fusion reaction to begin.
Jupiter would have to be 75-100 times more mass in order for it to become a sustainable star. That’s a lotta mass!
