That's because Jupiter rotates much more quickly than Earth. (Astronomers aren't sure exactly why that happens.)
Yes 1 day on Earth is 24 hours, 1 day on Jupiter is about 9.9 hours
A year on Jupiter is the amount of time for Jupiter to make one full revolution around the sun. The "year" on Jupiter takes 4331.57 Earth days (11.86 Earth years).Because Jupiter spins much faster than Earth, its day is as little as 9.84 Earth hours. This works out to 10,563 "Jupiter days" in a "Jupiter year."
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.
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.
No, Earth actually has a shorter year than Jupiter. Earth takes about 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun, while Jupiter takes approximately 11.9 Earth years for a single orbit. Mercury has the shortest year of all the planets in our solar system, completing an orbit around the sun in about 88 Earth days.
There are about 2.4 Jupiter days in one Earth day.

Venus. It has a year of about 225 of our days. Mars is about 687 days and Jupiter is 11.86 of our years.
A day on Jupiter is less than 10 Earth hours
Earth, Jupiter's days only last about 10 hours.
Mercury is closer to the Sun than Jupiter, therefore it takes less longer for Mercury to go around the Sun. Likewise Jupiter's year is shorter than Uranus, because Jupiter is closer to the Sun than Uranus.

Jupiter has a longer year than Earth. It takes about 12 Earth years for Jupiter to complete one orbit around the sun.
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.
One year on Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, is equivalent to about 7.15 Earth days. Ganymede's orbit around Jupiter is much shorter than Earth's orbit around the Sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days.
177 days shorter on mercury than the earth
