Because both planets orbit the sun, the distance varies, since at some times both will be on the same side of the sun, but at other times, on opposite sides.
When Jupiter and Earth are closest, Jupiter is 390,682,810 miles (628,743,036 km) from Earth. The Earth is 93,000,000 miles (149,668,992 km) from the Sun. Jupiter is 483,682,810 miles (778,412,028 km) from the Sun. At our most distant, Jupiter is 576,682,810 miles (928,081,020 km) from the Earth, when the two planets are on opposite sides of the Sun.
Measured in Astronomical Units (AU), the distance between Earth and Jupiter varies from 4.2 AU to 6.2 AU.
An Astronomical Unit is approximately 93,000,000 miles (149,668,992 km), or the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun. Therefore, the distance between the Earth and Jupiter can be anywhere between slightly over four times or six times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
The calculations are very close, but approximate, and also depend upon the slightly varying mass of the Sun, which has an effect on orbital distances.
What else can I help you with?
Does earth have rings how many and how far out into space do they go?
if your talking about the ones that Saturn and Jupiter have well then earth has no rings around it
Is Jupiter's gravity stronger then Earth's?
No. The gravity of Jupiter more than twice as strong as that on Earth.
Where is planet Jupiter relation to the sun and planet earth?
Jupiter is the 5th planet out from the Sun. The planet Mars (in 4th place) is right in between our planet Earth and Jupiter. Is 1000 times bigger than earth!
What is the distance between the earth and Jupiter?
*390,682,810 miles. If the Earth and Jupiter are not in a line with the sun with the sun in the middle, however, this answer will be incorrect.
How many Jupiter days in a earth year?
Jupiter takes 11.86 years to orbit once around the sun, which is 4332 days.
How far is earth away from Jupiter in mm?
4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.001mm
What if Jupiter was earths moon?
Impossible. If true, it would have to be the other way around, whereas Earth will be Jupiter's moon. This is because the gravitational field of Jupiter is FAR greater than Earth's.
Why do you not notice Jupiter's pull of gravity?
Because you are so far away from Jupiter, and so much closer to the Earth.
Does the Earth have more gravity than Jupiter?
Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system, has far more gravity than the Earth. Only the Sun has more gravity than Jupiter in our solar system.
Is Jupiter the icily planet?
no Jupiter is not icily because it is not far from the sun or close to the sun it is in the middle with other planets like earth
Is the orbit of Jupiter larger than the orbit of Earth?
Yes, Jupiter is about 5 times as far from the Sun.
How far away is jupter from earth?
The closest we get to Jupiter when we pass it is about 629 million kilometers.
Why do 12 earth years equal 1 year on Jupiter?
Jupiter's orbit around the Sun is much longer than Earth's, taking approximately 12 Earth years to complete one orbit. This difference in orbital time is why we say that 12 Earth years equal 1 year on Jupiter.
Why is Jupiter red when it is so far away from the sun?
Because red light is the longest wavelength and is the only light that can travel from the sun to Jupiter and back to earth for us on earth to see.
What does Earth look like from Jupiter?
From Jupiter, Earth would appear as a bright star in the sky, much like how we see Jupiter from Earth. It would be a small point of light, far too distant to see any details or features. Only advanced telescopes can capture images of Earth from the perspective of Jupiter.
Does earth have rings how many and how far out into space do they go?
if your talking about the ones that Saturn and Jupiter have well then earth has no rings around it
How far from earth to ganymede?
Ganymede, which is one of the moons of Jupiter, is approximately 628 million kilometers away from Earth at its closest point. The distance can vary due to the elliptical orbits of both Earth and Jupiter.
