Probably Jupiter. Saturn's orbit is 900 million miles from the sun, compared to Earth at 93 million miles, Jupiter at 500 million miles, and Uranus (the 'next planet out') at over 1400 million miles. The distance from Earth to Saturn varies from around 800 to 980 million miles, so even "we" could be closer to Saturn than Uranus is. However, if Jupiter is on the opposite side of the Sun in it's orbit, any planet except Neptune or Pluto could be the 'closest' to Saturn, at that time, though still very far away.

What is the closest planet to Jupiter?

Mars is potentially the closest planet at a minimum distance of 3.68 AU. That varies. Mars would typically be the closest planet, but earth would be closest when earth and Jupiter are on the same side of the sun and Mars is on the opposite side. At 10 AU, Saturn would almost always be further from Jupiter than Mercury or Venus. When Mars and Jupiter are on opposite sides of the sun, the distance between them is eight AU, whereas the distance between Jupiter and Saturn when they are lined up on the same side of the sun is 5 AU. That means when even earth (1 AU) is on the opposite side from Jupiter and Saturn (Jupiter and Saturn are in daylight), Saturn would be slightly closer. Most of the time, however, Mars would be the closest planet to Jupiter.

What is the closest planet to Jupiter and how far is it?

The distance between the planets depends on their location relative to each other. Sometimes Mars, Sometimes Saturn.

Hence, Saturn's orbit is slightly closer than Mars' orbit. 1 AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. 1 Astronomical Unit = 149 598 000 kilometers
