Using Kepler's 3rd(?) law, the duration of a planet's orbit squared is the same as the planet's distance from the Sun cubed . Jupiter is (on average) 5.2 times further from the Sun than our planet, so we say 5.2 AU(Astronomical Units- distance from Earth to Sun)

Using Keplers Law

Length of Jovian Orbit Squared = 5.2 cubed (5.2x5.2x5.2) = 140.608

So to get the Jovian Orbital Duration we need the square root of 140.608

Which is 11.858. That's roughly 12 years

How many minutes are in an hour on Jupiter?

60. The length of the year and the length of the day on Jupiter will differ from that of Earth because a year is the length of time it takes to complete a circuit around the sun and a day is the length of time it takes to rotate on its axis. However, hours, minutes, and seconds are units of time that do not change on other planets.
