Jupiter is more than 5 times as far from the Sun as Earth, which makes its orbital path (circumference) more than 5 times as long as Earth's. If it were moving at the same speed as Earth in its orbit, it would take 5 times as long to orbit the Sun. But planets farther from the Sun actually orbit more slowly with increasing orbital distance, so Jupiter actually takes nearly 12 Earth years to make one orbit (Jupiter year).

(Earth's orbital speed is about 30 km/sec. For Jupiter it is about 13 km/sec.)
