Anything in a gravitational orbit moves most slowly when
the distance between it and the central body is greatest.
It takes Jupiter approximately 12 years to orbit the sun.
The asteroids that travel in orbits that take them ahead of Jupiter are called "Trojan asteroids." They are located in two groups, known as the Greek camp and the Trojan camp, positioned along Jupiter's orbit around the sun. These asteroids have stable orbits because they are in gravitational equilibrium with Jupiter and the sun.
It takes Jupiter 4331 Earth days - or about 11.9 Earth years - to make one full orbit around the sun.
Jupiter's period of revolution is longer than the inner planets' periods of revolution because it is so much farther away from the Sun. Jupiter has to travel over 2 billion miles (3.2 billion kilometers) father than Mars to get around the Sun. Jupiter's orbit is almost 4 times longer than that of Mars in distance. Also Jupiter orbits more slowly. So it takes Jupiter 6 times longer than Mars to orbit the Sun. (Mars is is farthest inner planet from then Sun.)
The distance (circumference) around Jupiter is approximately 279,118 miles. Convert that to feet by multiplying 279,118 X the number of feet in a mile, 5,280 to get 1,473,743,040 feet.
Jupiter is not the slowest, but it is a lot slower than Earth. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. The time taken for a planet to orbit the Sun increases with distance from the Sun. There are two reasons : 1) The size of its orbit gets bigger. 2) The planet moves more slowly. This follows from the mathematics of Newton's gravitation theory.

it takes ten hours for it to travel around the sun
Jupiter: it's the largest.

Yes. The planets travel fastest at perihelion, the closest point to the sun in the orbit, and slowest at aphelion, the farthest point.

Jupiter is about 40 to 52 light minutes away from Earth, depending on their positions in their respective orbits around the Sun. This means that it takes light approximately 40 to 52 minutes to travel from Jupiter to Earth.

Ganymede, the moon of Jupiter, is in orbit around Jupiter so its transit around the Sun would be the same as Jupiter's, about 11.8 Earth years. 1036 Ganymede, the asteroid, has an orbital period of about 4.34 Earth years.
