31.7 light minutes
Jupiter is approximately 32.6 light minutes away from Earth on average.
Jupiter is not even close to a light year from the sun. Jupiter is about 5.2 AU from the sun on average, which works out to about 43 light minutes.
How many light years away is Jupiter from Earth when there closest?
That depends on how far apart Jupiter and earth are at the time.When both are on the same side of the sun, the closest the two planets can befrom each other is about 391 million miles. When on opposite sides of the sun,the farthest apart is about 577 million miles.The corresponding transit-times at light speed are between 35 minutes and 51.6 minutes.
At its closest, Jupiter is 588.42 million kilometers from Earth, or 32.7 light minutes. At its furthest, with Jupiter on the far side of the Sun form Earth, Jupiter is 53.8 light minutes away.
Jupiter is approximately 32.6 light minutes away from Earth on average.
Well the Moon is 1 light second away from earth ( meaning if you were moving at the speed of light you would reach and pass the moon in 1 second ) and the Sun is about 8 light minutes away from us. Jupiter is maybe 4 light minutes?
Jupiter is not even close to a light year from the sun. Jupiter is about 5.2 AU from the sun on average, which works out to about 43 light minutes.
How many light years away is Jupiter from Earth when there closest?
6.015 light minutes away from the sun
That depends on how far apart Jupiter and earth are at the time.When both are on the same side of the sun, the closest the two planets can befrom each other is about 391 million miles. When on opposite sides of the sun,the farthest apart is about 577 million miles.The corresponding transit-times at light speed are between 35 minutes and 51.6 minutes.
The sun is not light years away but light minutes and the sun is 8 (rounded) light minutes away from us. But if you really want to know how far away the sun is from us in light years it is 0.000015 of a light year away from us.
At its closest, Jupiter is 588.42 million kilometers from Earth, or 32.7 light minutes. At its furthest, with Jupiter on the far side of the Sun form Earth, Jupiter is 53.8 light minutes away.
Jupiter is approximately 4.2 astronomical units, or about 4.2 times the distance from Earth to the Sun. Since 1 astronomical unit is roughly equal to the average distance between Earth and the Sun, Jupiter is about 4.2 times 93 million miles away from Earth, or roughly 391.2 million miles.
It takes 8 minutes to get to earth, and closer to half an hour to get to Jupiter.
That would depend on what time of year you left the Earth. But if you knew the distance between the two planets at their closest. Then all you have to do is divide that distance by 186,000 and this would give you how many seconds away Jupiter was from the Earth. The moon is 250,000 miles away that's 250,000/186,000 = 1.344 seconds away.
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)
