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).
