Once -- that is the Jovian year.
An orbit around the sun is a "year" for whatever planet is concerned. However, Jupiter is much farther from the Sun than Earth, and takes about 11.86 Earth years to complete one orbit of the Sun -- this is about 4332 Earth days.

What is the distance from the sun and planet Jupiter?
Part of the answer is that you cannot get an exact distance for all times of the Jupiter year as the orbit of Jupiter around the sun is elliptic as is the earth's journey throughout the year.
What is Jupiter's orbit?
A planet's orbit is the length it travels around the Sun. Jupiter's orbit takes 12 years, which means one year on Jupiter would equal 12 Earth years.
How many years does it take Jupiter to orbit the Sun?
It takes it one Jupiter year to orbit the Sun once, by definition. The Earth will have completed 11.86 orbits in that same period of time.
What is the length of a year on Jupiter?
Jupiter's orbit is roughly 11.86 Earth Years.
What is a year on Jupiter?
Jupiter has an orbital period of 4,331.5 Earth days or about 11.86 years. Its orbit is much longer than Earth's, and it also moves more slowly in its orbit. Jupiter's orbit is roughly 11.86 Earth years long.
How many days makes a year on Jupiter?
it takes 4330.6earth days and that makes up 1 Jupiter year it takes so long because it is further away so it has a bigger orbit.
How long is Jupiter's year in Earth time?
Jupiter takes 12 Earth years to orbit the sun.4,331.572 days or 11.85920 year
How many times does the moon orbit the earth in 1 year?
it orbits 65 times in one year
How many times does mars orbit the sun in a year?
Martian Year: OnceJulian year : 1.808
Why does Jupiter have 4332 days in a year?
A year is defined as the period it takes a planet to orbit the Sun once. For Jupiter, it takes 4,332 Earth days for Jupiter to make one revolution.
Why does the planet Jupiter take more than one year to orbit the Sun?
because it it much farther away and has a greator orbit than the earth. However, it does take only one "Jupiter" year to orbit the sun, whilst it would take many many eath years. (take the distance of the earth to the sun, and use the pi ratio to find our the circumference, or distance, the earth travels, and do the same with jupiter, and you'll see there are huge difference in the distance)
Why does it take so long for Jupiter to orbit the sun?
Jupiter is more than 5 times as far from the Sun as Earth, which makes its orbital path (circumference) more than 5 times as long as Earth's. If it were moving at the same speed as Earth in its orbit, it would take 5 times as long to orbit the Sun. But planets farther from the Sun actually orbit more slowly with increasing orbital distance, so Jupiter actually takes nearly 12 Earth years to make one orbit (Jupiter year). (Earth's orbital speed is about 30 km/sec. For Jupiter it is about 13 km/sec.)
