All of the planets are constantly moving in their orbits around the Sun, so the distance - NOW - is a little different from the distance - NOW-. The orbit of Jupiter averages about 5.2 AU from the Sun, and Earth is about 1 AU from the Sun. So when the Earth is at opposition to Jupiter (when Earth is closest to Jupiter) the distance is about 4.2 AU, and when Jupiter is in conjunction (Jupiter on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth) the distance is about 6.2 AU.
If you want to see the precise distance at any given point in time, there is an open-source planetarium program called Stellarium, available from stellarium.org. Install this program on your PC, and you will be able to see at any moment what the distance to any other celestial object is.
