Answer:

Because even though Jupiter is extraordinarily large the sun is still bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

Jupiter gravitational pull is not large enough to effect objects the size of pleats but it does significantly effect astroids around it. If it became as big as the sun other planets would orbit around it
