Jupiter revolves around the Sun in a manner similar to the Earth, which is counter-clockwise as viewed from the arbitrary "north" or "above" the ecliptic plane.

Jupiter, however, is much farther out than Earth, with an elliptical orbit ranging from 740 to 816 million kilometers from the Sun. It takes about 11.86 Earth years to make one complete orbit.

Where does Jupiter fit in the Milky Way galaxy?

Jupiter is a planet, like Earth. Where it actually is in the galexy is in an orbit around the Sun. Where it would appear to us (what direction from Earth) keeps changing as both Jupiter and Earth orbit the Sun; so where it appears relative to the stars will depend on when you are looking.

What does ganymede orbit?
