I am not sure if it actually is the shortest time, but as a general rule, an object that orbits the central object (Jupiter, in this case) at a closer distance will not only have a shorter distance to travel, but will also move faster - so, in summary, closer objects will orbit faster.

Jupiter does not orbit the earth. It takes 11.86 years for Jupiter to orbit the sun.


Would Jupiter have a longer or shorter year than earth?

It would have a longer year, because it is further away from the Sun, and so would take a longer time to orbit it. A year is dictated by how long we take to orbit the Sun. Yes and in fact Jupiter takes about 11.9 Earth years to orbit the Sun.

Why does the planet Jupiter take more than one year to orbit the Sun?

because it it much farther away and has a greator orbit than the earth. However, it does take only one "Jupiter" year to orbit the sun, whilst it would take many many eath years. (take the distance of the earth to the sun, and use the pi ratio to find our the circumference, or distance, the earth travels, and do the same with jupiter, and you'll see there are huge difference in the distance)
