There is very little light on the planet Jupiter. This planet is a gas planet and the storms on this planet have continued for over 300 years.
Jupiter does not have light other than the lighting thunderstorms which give off the light.
yes
The light minutes is the amount of time (in minutes) it takes the energy (light) from the sun to travel to a planet. Jupiter has 43.3 light minutes
How many light years away is Jupiter from Earth when there closest?
At its closest, Jupiter is 588.42 million kilometers from Earth, or 32.7 light minutes. At its furthest, with Jupiter on the far side of the Sun form Earth, Jupiter is 53.8 light minutes away.
Jupiter and its moons get light from the same source we do: the sun.
Jupiter does not have light other than the lighting thunderstorms which give off the light.
Jupiter is very heavy.
yes
It shines directly on both Jupiter and its moons. There is no reason it shouldn't, as, other than periodic eclipses from Jupiter, nothing blocks the sunlight from reaching those moons. The moons do get some reflected light from Jupiter as well, just as Earth gets some light from our moon.

no.
How many light years away is Jupiter from Earth when there closest?
Yes. There is energy eberywhere. Jupiter gets light from the sun and produces light in its aurorae. There is thermal energy as it is not absolute zero, and there is kinetic energy from Jupiter's winds.
At its closest, Jupiter is 588.42 million kilometers from Earth, or 32.7 light minutes. At its furthest, with Jupiter on the far side of the Sun form Earth, Jupiter is 53.8 light minutes away.
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
Jupiter is not even close to a light year from the sun. Jupiter is about 5.2 AU from the sun on average, which works out to about 43 light minutes.
