With no solid surface, or seasons, and multiple moons, the concept of "months" or lunar cycles cannot be applied to Jupiter.
In Earth terms, Jupiter's year is 11.86 Earth years, or 142.32 Earth months.
It takes approximately 12 Earth years for Jupiter to complete one orbit around the Sun. This means a year on Jupiter is equivalent to about 12 Earth years. So, in terms of Earth months, a year on Jupiter would equate to 144 Earth months.
A month is defined by an orbiting body. Jupiter has many different months. I have added a related link to a chart of each moon and the length of its month listed under Orbital Period.
Oh, such a lovely question! Jupiter is visible in the night sky for several months at a time, depending on where Earth is in its orbit. You can usually spot it in the eastern sky after sunset, like a twinkling friend watching over you as you safely explore the wonders of our universe.
Jupiter is approximately 318 times the mass of Earth.
It would take about 9 years to travel from Earth to Jupiter, assuming a similar speed and trajectory as the trip from Earth to Mars. Jupiter is much farther away from Earth than Mars, so the journey would be significantly longer.
Jupiter retrograde lasts approximately 4 months and occurs every 9 months due to Jupiter's 12yr orbit

it takes 11.6 years i think :)
Months are longer on Earth than they are on Jupiter, because Jupiter's days are only 10 hours long.
yes

It took the Galileo Spacecraft about 6 years and two months to get from Earth to Jupiter, using two gravity assists (robbing angular momentum from Venus and Earth).
Roughly 11 years, 10 months, and 10 days. (11.86 yrs)
As Jupiter is far of , man has not set his foot on the planet Jupiter, it will take a few months to reach it, as well as the same number of months to return to earth.
Jupiter is a gas giant.However, Shoemaker–Levy comet fragments collided with Jupiter's southern hemisphere between July 16 and July 22, 1994, at a speed of approximately 134,000 mph. The scars from the impacts persisted for many months.
Jupiter orbits the sun in about 4332 days, which is about 11 years and 11 months.
