As of 6:27 PM PDT on July 28, 2009, Jupiter was 4.06582 AU away. But since both Earth and Jupiter are constantly moving, that number is constantly changing. Right now, Earth is "catching up" to Jupiter in its orbit, so the distance is decreasing.
Ooops! 4.06581 AU now.
I recommend the free Stellarium program for calculations such as these.
over 24,000 miles
The distance between Earth and Mars varies due to their positions in their orbits around the Sun. On average, Mars is about 225 million kilometers away from Earth. However, this distance can change as the two planets move along their respective orbits.
about 57 million miles away from earth

Uo today - nobody.
Originally, the distance was measured by a system called parallax measurement. Today, it is measured by laser beam, and is accurate to within inches.
Yes, the Great Red Spot storm on Jupiter is still active today. It has been raging for hundreds of years and is a massive storm that is much larger than the Earth. Scientists continue to study this iconic feature of Jupiter to better understand its dynamics and longevity.
The original atmosphere of earth contained primarily ammonia and methane, very similar to the atmosphere on Venus and Jupiter today.
The gravitational force between two objects decreases with distance. If the Moon were moved to half its current distance from the Earth, the gravitational force it exerts on the Earth would increase by a factor of four (2^2), since force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
No
Earth.
When Jupitar was formed a huge asteroid hit Jupitar and was fused onto it and then stayed like the same shape that it is today.
