Because both planets orbit the sun, the distance varies, since at some times both will be on the same side of the sun, but at other times, on opposite sides.

When Jupiter and Earth are closest, Jupiter is 390,682,810 miles (628,743,036 km) from Earth. The Earth is 93,000,000 miles (149,668,992 km) from the Sun. Jupiter is 483,682,810 miles (778,412,028 km) from the Sun. At our most distant, Jupiter is 576,682,810 miles (928,081,020 km) from the Earth, when the two planets are on opposite sides of the Sun. Measured in Astronomical Units (AU), the distance between Earth and Jupiter varies from 4.2 AU to 6.2 AU.

An Astronomical Unit is approximately 93,000,000 miles (149,668,992 km), or the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun. Therefore, the distance between the Earth and Jupiter can be anywhere between slightly over four times or six times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

The calculations are very close, but approximate, and also depend upon the slightly varying mass of the Sun, which has an effect on orbital distances.

How far are you from Jupiter?

Earth is anywhere from: 576,682,810 miles (at its farthest) to 390,682,810 mi (at its closest). Now then, presuming that the "you" referred to in this inquiry is, in fact, on Earth, then the distance would fall under the differential provided above. However, if the aforementioned "you" is on the moon, the distance is only: 576,443,953 mi (at its farthest) to 390,449,953 mi (at its closest) Signed, -C

How far is planet nibiru from the earth?

In Babylonian Astronomy Nibiru refers to Jupiter, which is 778,547,200 km away from the sun at it's (semi-major axis) average distance. At any given time the Earth and Jupiter can be a various distances from each other depending on how far from the sun they are and at what alignment to each other they are: Earth's Aphelion distance plus Jupiter's Aphelion distance at opposition (152,097,701 + 816,520,800 ) is 968,618,501 km. Earth's Aphelion distance minus Jupiter's Perihelion distance at conjunction (152,097,701 - 740,573,600) is 588,475,899 km. An endless number of alignments and distances are possible but these are the farthest and closest possible distances.
