How much is 5 minutes on Jupiter?

Well, darling, 5 minutes on Jupiter is about 300 Earth minutes. You see, Jupiter's day is about 9.9 Earth hours long, so if you do the math, 5 minutes on Jupiter equals about 300 minutes on good ol' Earth. So, if you ever find yourself on Jupiter, make sure to savor those 5 minutes because you've got a lot more time on your hands there!


Why does the brightness of Jupiter apper to change over time?

That's mainly because the distance from Jupiter to Earth changes over time. If we assume, for simplicity, that Jupiter's orbit is circular, and that the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is 5 AU, then, when Jupiter is in opposition (opposite to the Sun, from our point of view), it is at a distance of 4 AU (5 minus 1); when it is in conjunction (behind the Sun, from our point of view), it's at a distance of 6 AU (5 plus 1).

The orbital period of Jupiter is very close to 12 years What is the orbital period of an asteroid at the 52 resonance with Jupiter?

An asteroid at the 5:2 resonance with Jupiter would have an orbital period that is 5/2 times that of Jupiter, which would be around 4.8 years. This means that for every 5 orbits Jupiter completes around the Sun, the asteroid would complete around 2 orbits.
