Jupiter and Earth are not always the same distance apart. At their closest, it would take about 1.96 seconds. At their furthest, about 3.22 seconds.

How many light minutes is it from Jupiter to Earth?
That depends on how far apart Jupiter and earth are at the time.When both are on the same side of the sun, the closest the two planets can befrom each other is about 391 million miles. When on opposite sides of the sun,the farthest apart is about 577 million miles.The corresponding transit-times at light speed are between 35 minutes and 51.6 minutes.
How long does it take stars light to get to us?
In our Solar System, we see light from our sun reflected off the planets. In more distant galaxies, light from many millions of stars takes a long time to reach the Earth. It takes light 4 years to reach the Earth from Sirius, a near neighbouring star. Using the Hubble telescope, we can see the light from the Eagle Nebula, which takes 7,000 years to reach the Earth.
Does the light of the sun reach the earth?
Yes - the light takes approximately 8 minutes 20 seconds to hit the earth surface. In addition the Moon reflects the suns light so we see "moon light" which of course is in actual fact reflected sunlight
How long does it take moonlight to travel to earth?
The speed of light is 300,000 km per second. The Moon's distance varies between about 360,000 km and 405,000 km from the Earth. So it takes a little over a second for light reflected from the Moon to reach Earth.
How long does it take to get to the Jupiter?
It depends on how fast you travel. If you travel as fast is it is possible to travel (i.e. at the speed of light) then while it takes light 8.32 minutes to get from the Sun to the Earth, it takes light 43.3 minutes to get from the Sun to Jupiter.
How long does reflected light from Jupiter to reach the earth?
35 minutes. Obviously it depends where the planets are in their orbits. I think that 35 minutes is about the least possible time.
How does the light from the moon reach the earth?
The moon does not emit light, rather it reflects it. The light from the sun shines on the moon, and it is reflected to earth.
What causes the lunar phase?
Amount of light from sun that reach/reflected-by the moon as the earth revolves the sun.
Does the suns light take eight years to reach earth?
Not unless it reflected off an object 4 light years away.Straight to Earth takes about 8 minutes.

How long does it take to reach Jupiter?
Earth is 588 million kilometers away from Jupiter. On a space shuttle, it would take about 2 years to reach Jupiter from Earth.
There is no moon when it is?
the reason we sometimes don't see the moon is because the sun is in a posision where the light doesn't reach the moon, there for the light isn't reflected to Earth and we can't see it.

How many lightyears are you away from Jupiter?
Well the Moon is 1 light second away from earth ( meaning if you were moving at the speed of light you would reach and pass the moon in 1 second ) and the Sun is about 8 light minutes away from us. Jupiter is maybe 4 light minutes?
The time it takes for sunlight to be reflected from the moon to earth?
Light from the sun takes about 81/3 minutes to reach the moon, and if it bounces off the moon in the direction of Earth, another 1.27 seconds from the moon to Earth.
How does it take for light to reach earth?
If you mean light from the Sun, then it takes eight minutes for the light to reach the Earth.
