What is the speed of Jupiter?

Answer 1

13.0697 km/sec
Jupiter's distance is (average) 778,000,000 km. Orbit therefore = 2(pi)R = 4,888,000,000 km. Time taken is 11.86 years. 1 year = 31,536,000 seconds. 11.86 years = 374,000,000 seconds. 4,888,000,000 / 374,000,000 = 13.07 km/sec = 47,000 km/hr = 29,000 mph.

Answer 2

The speed of light in vacuum is very nearly 300,000 metres per second. Although Jupiter's atmosphere is not vacuum, it does not have a refractive index large enough to significantly alter the speed of light. Furthermore, the Jupiter's gravity is not large enough to distort space-time to an extent great enough to impact on the speed of light.

Answer 3

Although this answer may vary depending on the time of year, Jupiter generally orbits the sun at around 52,781.4 miles per hour. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

It takes Jupiter about 10 hours to rotate and 12 years to fully orbit the Sun. Despite the fact that Jupiter is almost 11 times Earth's diameter, a full "Jupiter day" is about 10 hours.

Answer 5

Jupiter travels at 13.07 km/s

By comparison, the Earth travels at 29.783 km/s

Answer 6

A very long time. All of the planets in our solar system, including Jupiter,

have existed for billions of years, and not one of them has ever traveled

at the speed of light yet.

Answer 7

Approx 300,000 km per second. Jupiter does not have any light of its own - it is simply reflected sunlight.

Answer 8

13.07 km/s
