How far is Jupiter from the earth's moon?

Because both planets orbit the sun, the distance varies, since at some times both will be on the same side of the sun, but at other times, on opposite sides.

When Jupiter and Earth are closest, Jupiter is 390,682,810 miles (628,743,036 km) from Earth. The Earth is 93,000,000 miles (149,668,992 km) from the Sun. Jupiter is 483,682,810 miles (778,412,028 km) from the Sun. At our most distant, Jupiter is 576,682,810 miles (928,081,020 km) from the Earth, when the two planets are on opposite sides of the Sun. Measured in Astronomical Units (AU), the distance between Earth and Jupiter varies from 4.2 AU to 6.2 AU. An Astronomical Unit is approximately 93,000,000 miles (149,668,992 km), or the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun. Therefore, the distance between the Earth and Jupiter can be anywhere between slightly over four times or six times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

The calculations are very close, but approximate, and also depend upon the slightly varying mass of the Sun, which has an effect on orbital distances.

It's about 370 million miles

The distance from Jupiter to Earth varies every year due to their elliptical orbits. At their closest point, the distance between the two planets is 365 million miles.

Distance from earth to sun is 93 million miles

How far is Earth from the Sun

Distance from Jupiter from sun is 484 million miles

How far is Jupiter from the Sun

Jupiter from sun - Earth from sun = Jupiter from earth

484 - 93 = Jupiter is 391 miles from earth

Please note, these numbers are rounded and in miles. The exact number may be slightly different due to rounding error. Also, because both earth and Jupiter have an elliptical orbit around earth, this number can vary from time to time. 391 is just the average distance.

Does io have gravity?

Io's gravity is 1.796 m/s2 (0.183 g)

If you weighed 100 kg on Earth, you'd weigh 18.3 kg on Io.

Do uranus and neptune have rings?

Yes, both Uranus and Neptune have rings around them, although they are fainter and less extensive compared to Saturn's prominent ring system. The rings of Uranus were first discovered in 1977 during a stellar occultation, while Neptune's rings were discovered in 1989 during the Voyager 2 flyby.

What phobia is the fear of planets?

The fear of planets is known as astrophobia. This can manifest as a fear of celestial bodies or space in general. It is a specific phobia that can cause anxiety or panic in individuals when thinking about or encountering planets.

What are the good things about Jupiter?

Jupiter is the Roman name for the Greek god Zeus, who was the father of all the other gods. The planet Jupiter was named after Zeus because it is the largest planet in the Solar System, and "fathers over" the other planets.

How far apart are Jupiter and Europa?

On average, the same distance as Jupiter, which is about 484 million miles from the Sun. Europa could only be closer to the Sun by about 417,000 miles, as its orbital distance from Jupiter is less than 1% of Jupiter's orbital distance from the Sun.

Where was Jupiter discovered?

Jupiter has been recognized as a special sky phenomenom since before recorded history. It is one of the five planets that can be seen without binoculars or a telescope (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn), and as such it would have been noticed by primitive people by the fact that, unlike stars, its position in the heavens changes over time. The name "Jupiter" was given to it by the ancient Romans.

Minor gases of Jupiter?

The composition of air on Earth is as follows:

.

Nitrogen 78%

Oxygen 21%

Argon 0.9%

Carbon Dioxide 0.03%

Other trace gases include:

Neon

Helium

Methane

Krypton

Hydrogen

Nitrous Oxide

Carbon Monoxide

Xenon

Ozone

Nitrogen Dioxide

Iodine

Ammonia

TH

How does IO have active volcanoes?

Io, like all the moons of Jupiter, is subject to intense tidal stresses caused by Jupiter's powerful gravity. Those tides generate friction within the moon, causing its temperature to remain much higher than, for example, our own moon. That heat liquefies and/or evaporates minerals inside Io, which then vent from the surface in precisely the same manner as volcanoes on Earth.

What is the critical difference between Jupiter and Saturn?

One critical difference between Jupiter and Saturn is their composition. Jupiter is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, while Saturn has a higher proportion of lighter elements like hydrogen and helium. Additionally, Saturn has prominent ring systems, while Jupiter has a much fainter and less defined ring system.

What are asteroids made from?

Comets are made out of ice. They will melt after millions and billions of years. They were so cold that it can't really melt fast like an ice cube.

Asteroids are made out of rock. there's an asteroid belt outside Earth, and now Astronomers are still discovering them.

Meteors was the same thing as Asteroid, so you don't really had to know them.

Why is jupiter named the way it is?

Jupiter is named after the King of the Roman gods in Roman mythology. The planet was given this name because it is the largest and most massive planet in our solar system, embodying power and majesty like the god Jupiter.

Compare the size of Pluto and Jupiter?

Jupiter is much larger than Pluto. Jupiter has a diameter over 11 times greater than that of Pluto and is significantly more massive. Pluto is considered a dwarf planet and is much smaller compared to Jupiter.

Which planet is named for the king of gods?

The planet Jupiter has the same name as the Roman king of the gods, which is based on the Greek's god Zeus.

How many seasons does Jupiter have?

Because the axis of Mars is tilted by 25.19 degrees, it does indeed have seasons similar to those of the Earth. When it is summer in the Martian northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa. There is one cycle of seasons - winter, spring, summer, and fall - every year, just like it is on Earth. (Actually, the seasonal cycle on Mars is 668.5921 Martian days, slightly longer than the Martian year. This is because the axis of Mars wobbles slightly as the planet turns.
winter, summer, spring and fall

How many satellites are on Saturn?

Saturn has at least 82 known moons, with more potentially yet to be discovered. These moons vary in size and characteristics, with some being large and round like Titan, while others are irregularly shaped or small.

How far is Jupiter from Neptune?

It varies, because both Jupiter and Neptune are orbiting the Sun at different rates.

When they are closest together, the distance between them is about 3.7 billion km.

When they are on opposite sides of the Sun, the distance is about 5.3 billion km.

What colors are the planets?

Mercury grey

Venus Yellow

Earth blue green

Mars Red

Jupiter red brown white yellow ornage banned

Saturn mainly shades of yellow and orange and white

Neptune blue

Uranus blue

What is the distance from Saturn to Jupiter?

The average distance from Saturn to Jupiter is about 401 million miles, or 644 million kilometers. The actual distance varies as both planets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths.

How far is Uranus from Jupiter?

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, and Jupiter is the fifth. Saturn is located between them. This distance between Uranus and Jupiter is 13.94 AU, where 1 AU is equal to 149,598,000 kilometers.

What is Jupiter's nickname?

Jupiter's nickname is The Giant Planet it comes from how big the planet is.

Others found in text books are:

  • The giant gorilla of the Solar System.
  • The Far East referred to it as the wood star
  • The Greeks called it Phaethon
  • The Jove (Seems to be a very localised)

How does observing the moons of Jupiter measure the speed of light?

It has to do with the amount of time it takes the the light from the moon of Jupiter to reach the earth depending on if the earth is on the same side of the sun as Jupiter compared to the opposite side of the sun from Jupiter. Because of the time difference for the light to arrive, the orbit of the moons appear late in passing behind or in front of Jupiter when earth is on the opposite side of the sun from Jupiter, compared to when it is on the same side. This time difference is then the time it takes the light to travel the diameter of the earth's orbit around the sun. Velocity is then simply distance divided by time.

Of course you still need to know how to calculate the diameter of the earth's orbit around the sun in the 17th century, but that's another answer!

Look up the astronomer named Ole Christensen Rømer he was the one who noticed this first, his estimate was 11 minutes difference, and resulted in a figure of 130,000 miles per second. 186,300 miles per second or 299,792 km per second is the actual speed.
