An evolutionary study of a 0.00095 M/solar mass/ star, composed of a convective, adiabatic, homogeneous fluid, has been performed using stellar structure methods. A new numerical technique is used to calculate model atmospheres in the form of time-average vertical temperature structures, including all relevant opacity sources and a solar energy deposition component. Thermodynamic properties for pure hydrogen and a solar mixture (X = 0.74, Y = 0.24, Z = 0.02) are developed for -7 less than or equal to log rho (g cm$sup -3$) less than or equal to 1 and 1.78 less than or equal to log T(K) less than or equal to 4.78, utilizing recent high-pressure experimental results and new theoretical methods. The resultant gravitationally contracting evolutionary models exhibit two phases. An early stellar phase, behaving like a typical low- mass pre-main-sequence object, has high luminosities which have left a record in the structure of the Galilean satellites. This phase also has high internal temperatures, (T/sub c/)/sub max/ reaching 51,400, which ensures a long subsequent evolution as a fully mixed, convective structure. The second phase is an approach to a degenerate dwarf cooling curve, which gives excellent agreement with the observed radius and luminosity of Jupiter. A shortmore » time scale for the standard adiabatic fluid models (2.6 x 10$sup 9$ years) is extended by combinations of several factors influencing the planetary evolution. An analysis of the sensitivity of evolution to chemical composition, solar energy deposition, equation of state, model atmospheres, and superadiabaticity demonstrates that equation of state and superadiabaticity have the strongest influence over planetary time scales.
