If by "rotational period" you mean the time it takes for Jupiter to rotate once about its own axis, or how long is one "Jovian day", then the answer is 9.9 hours, which is faster than Earth. So the question is wrong from the outset. If you mean the time it takes to orbit the sun, or a Jovian year, it takes about 11.9 Earth years, which is faster than any of the planets beyond it. Again, the question is founded on incorrect details.

∙ 12y agoIt really doesn't matter how massive or large the planet is; the time it takes for one orbit is ENTIRELY dependent on the distance from the Sun. The gas giant planets happen to be a long way from the Sun - and so their orbits take much longer than Earth's.

∙ 11y agoQuite simply, they have further to go, and they are moving slower.
For example:
- Earth: 107,200 km/h, ~939,715,200 km.
- Jupiter: 47,052 km/h, ~4,892,568,592 km.

∙ 14y agoThe farther an object is from the Sun, the longer it takes for an orbit. Comets come from far, far away - pressumably, from an "Oort Cloud" that orbits the Sun at a distance of about a light-year from the Sun. Some of them approach the Earth, and some of them get trapped, especially by action of the larger planets, but they still have a large orbit.

How many days does it take to Jupiter from Earth?
That depends on the speed of your spacecraft. The space probes that we've sent there generally take a couple of years to make the trip, but better engines could shorten it to months - or weeks! If you had an engine that could accelerate at one gravity the whole way, the trip would take only a few days, depending on where Jupiter and Earth were in their orbits.
