Because the orbit of Jupiter around the sun is not a perfect circle, its distance from the sun depends on where it is in its orbit.

At Perihelion(closest point in the orbit to the Sun): 740,573,600 km / 4.95 AU / 460,171,100 miles

At aphelion (farthest point in the orbit to the Sun): 816,520,800 km / 5.458 AU / 507,304,400 miles

The semimajor axis of its orbit is: 778,547,200 km / 5.2 AU / 483,711,400 miles

Its average distance from the sun is 5.2 AU (5.2 times the average earth/sun distance) or about 43.3 light-minutes.
