Yes, Jupiter is about 5 times as far from the Sun.
What is the au of Jupiter?
The astronomical unit (au) is a unit of measurement equal to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles. The average distance between Jupiter and the Sun is about 5.2 astronomical units.
What is the distance of jupiters moons in astronomical units?
Answer: you would have to be specific there are a lot of moons orbitting Jupiter Answer: The distance from Earth to Jupiter's moons is the same as the distance from Earth to Jupiter. The distance from Jupiter to its moons is insignificant, and can be ignored.

Mercury: 0.387 AU Venus: 0.723 AU Earth: 1.000 AU Mars: 1.524 AU Jupiter: 5.204 AU Saturn: 9.582 AU Uranus: 19.229 AU Neptune: 30.104 AU
How far is Jupiter from earth when they are in line in au?
It depends slightly during what part of their orbits they line up, but it will be between about 4 AU and 4.4 AU. Currently (as of 6/27/2009), Earth and Jupiter are 4.35 AU apart. The closest they will get in 2009 is on August 14 at 10:19 PM when they will be about 4.0278 AU apart.
How long is earth to Jupiter?
The answer to "how far is Jupiter from Earth" can have a different answer every day of the year. The planets both travel in their elliptical orbits getting closer then farther apart. When Earth and Jupiter are at their closest to each other they are 628,743,036 km apart. At their most distant from each other they are 928,081,020 km apart. In astronomical units the distance varies from 4.2 AU to 6.2 AU.
How far away is Jupiter from the Sun in AU?
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, located about 4.95 astronomical units (AU) away. This is 483,800,000 miles and 778,500,000 kilometers.
How far from Earth is Jupiter?
1st, you need to know how far Jupiter is from the sun. 2nd, you know. Answer: it varies.
What planet is twice as far from the sun as Mercury?
Mars is the closest. Mars orbital period is 687 days. Earth, as we all know, is 365 days. The next planet out, Jupiter, revolves around the Sun in 12 years. Saturn for information takes almost 30 years. Saturn
Light takes 8 minutes to travel from the sun to earth and 40 minutes from the sun to Jupiter Jupiter is AU from the sun?
1 AU stands for the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. Since Jupiter is about 5.2 AU from the Sun, the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is roughly 484 million miles or 778 million kilometers. This means that light takes about 40 minutes to travel from the Sun to Jupiter due to the increased distance compared to Earth.
How far is Saturn from Jupiter?
One astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between the earth and sun. Jupiter is about 5 AU from the sun, while Saturn is about 10 AU. The distance between Jupiter and Saturn is 5 AU when they're both on the same side of the sun, and 15 AU when the sun is directly between them. The average distance would be sqr(5² + 10²) AU or about 11 AU. 11 AU = just over a billion miles, or 1.6 billion km. Jupiter has an orbit with a radius of 5.2 astronomical units, while Saturn's orbit has a radius of 9.5 AU. They both go round the Sun so the distance from one to the other varies between 9.5 - 5.2 and 9.5 + 5.2 AUs. That is 4.3 to 14.7 AU.
How many AUs is the Jupiter from the Sun?
It ranges from 5.458104 AU to 5.458104 AU for an average of 5.204267 AU.
Which planet is 5 Au from the sun?
The planet 5 AU from the sun is Jupiter.
What is the distance between Jupiter and Earth in astronomical units?
.73 AU?But the distance from Mercury to the Earth varies greatly as both planets orbit the Sun. At its closest approach, Mercury is about 77 million kilometers (48 million miles) from Earth*. At its farthest, about 222 million kilometers (138 million miles).
Today is July 28 what is the distance today of earth and Jupiter?
As of 6:27 PM PDT on July 28, 2009, Jupiter was 4.06582 AU away. But since both Earth and Jupiter are constantly moving, that number is constantly changing. Right now, Earth is "catching up" to Jupiter in its orbit, so the distance is decreasing. Ooops! 4.06581 AU now. I recommend the free Stellarium program for calculations such as these.
