Jupiter isn't solid, so it undergoes what's called "differential rotation". A little under 10 hours is correct for pretty much the whole planet, but the equatorial region rotates a little faster than the rest of it: about 9 hours and 50 minutes at the equator, vs. about 9 hours and 55 minutes nearer the poles.

How long does Jupiter take to make a full rotation around?

jupiters orbit much further from the sun than the earth, and so it takes longer to orbit theSun. In fact, Jupiter takes 11.86 years (or 4332 days) to orbit the Sun. This is because Jupiter orbits the Sun at an average distance of 778 million km (while Earth only orbits at an average of 150 million km).
