The light year is not a practical unit for measuring interplanetary distances. It is usually reserved for dealing with the distances between the stars, which is far greater. A better unit for grasping the Earth-Jupiter distance would be the A.U., or astronomical unit, equal to the Earth-Sun distance, 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers. Also, the distance between Earth and Jupiter is constantly changing, since both bodies follow separate orbits around the sun.
