How far is Jupiter from the earth's moon?

Answer 1

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.

It's about 370 million miles

The distance from Jupiter to Earth varies every year due to their elliptical orbits. At their closest point, the distance between the two planets is 365 million miles.

Distance from earth to sun is 93 million miles

How far is Earth from the Sun

Distance from Jupiter from sun is 484 million miles

How far is Jupiter from the Sun

Jupiter from sun - Earth from sun = Jupiter from earth

484 - 93 = Jupiter is 391 miles from earth

Please note, these numbers are rounded and in miles. The exact number may be slightly different due to rounding error. Also, because both earth and Jupiter have an elliptical orbit around earth, this number can vary from time to time. 391 is just the average distance.

Answer 2

The distance from Jupiter to the earth's moon varies between 4.2 to 6.2 astronomical units. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun while the earth is the third.
