∙ 15y agoAbout 43 minutes, 15 seconds. Jupiter is approximately 5.2AU away. 5.2 Astronomical Units = 777 909 600 kilometers the speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s (777 909 600 kilometers) / 299 792 458 m / s = 43.2471186 minutes

How long does it take reflected light from Jupiter to reach the earth?
Jupiter and Earth are not always the same distance apart. At their closest, it would take about 1.96 seconds. At their furthest, about 3.22 seconds.
How long would it take gamma rays from an exploding star to reach earth?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they travel at the speed of light. If a star is one light year away, it will reach Earth in one year.
The distance from the sun to Jupiter is 778000000000 miles so How long does it take for light from the sun to reach Jupiter?
You seem have too many zeros. Jupiter is 778 million Kilometers (778,000,000), NOT miles from the Sun. The number of miles is about 484 million (484,000,000). Light will take just over 40 minutes to reach Jupiter. The speed of light is abut 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second)
How long does it take Jupiter to revolve around the sun in days?
Jupiter's orbit takes 4331.6 days approx.
