elliptical orbit with earth at one focus.
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.
The moons distance from Earth varies during its orbit, but is around 363,100 km or 225,620 miles at its closest (Perigee). Although this seems quite far, its only a small distance when compared to the Earth sun distance, which is 147,098,290km or 91,402,600 miles at its closest. So the moons closest distance to the sun will be around 146,735,200km.
No, there are not moons or stars ON planet earth, but there are moons and stars around planet earth. == ==
Distance from Earth varies from 36 million miles (nearest planet after Venus) to over 250 million miles. Proportionately, this six-fold distance variation is the greatest of any planet.
The Earth only has one natural moon, called the Moon. Earth does not have three moons.

For the same reason that the earth's distance from the sun is always changing. The orbits are elliptical and not circular. Virtually all orbits in the solar system are elliptical, Pluto's being the most extreme of the major and minor planets. Some of the moons come close to having no eccentricity.
No, Jupiter's moons do not have phases like Earth's moon. Phases are caused by the changing positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, but Jupiter's moons have no light of their own and do not reflect sunlight in the same way.
Earth and Jupiter orbit the sun at different distances and speeds so the distance from Earth to Jupiter itself varies a lot. On average, the distance of any moon of Jupiter to the Earth is the distance from Earth to Jupiter.
It varies, since the moons orbit around earth is not perfectly circular and central.
The moon is under the influence of both the Earth's and the Sun's gravitational pull.
the moon changing toward the earth at different faces of the moons and different time and years.

There are no moons in Earth. But around Earth, yes. There is one.

There are no moons around Venus or Mercury. So the closest moon to Venus is the Moon orbiting the Earth, which is not really any closer than Earth is. (Venus is always at least 100 times farther away from Earth than the distance of the Moon.)
