Because Jupiter is not a solid body it does not rotate at a uniform rate. One rotation takes about 9 hours, 50 minutes near the equator, but about five minutes longer near the poles.
Jupiter's fast rotation speed is the reason behind its short day length of about 10 hours. Its rapid rotation causes the planet to complete one full rotation on its axis in this relatively short amount of time.

A day on Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, is about 16.7 Earth days long. This is the time it takes for Callisto to complete one full rotation on its axis.
A day on Jupiter is shorter than a day on Earth because Jupiter rotates much faster on its axis compared to Earth. This rapid rotation causes Jupiter to complete a full rotation in about 10 hours, leading to shorter day length.
A day on Jupiter is approximately 9.9 hours, which is significantly shorter than a day on Earth, which is approximately 24 hours long. So, about 10 hours on Jupiter would be equivalent to a day on Earth.

It completes its rotation about every 9.9 hours!

Jupiter rotates on its axis once every 9.9 hours, which is the length of its day.
No. Jupiter rotates very fast, and a "day" on Jupiter is a little under 10 hours long.
It would take almost exactly 24 hours to travel to Jupiter in one day. However, none of the Space Shuttles was ever capable of making that trip.
Quite fast, a day on Jupiter is 9.925 hours long.
