The minimum distance between Jupiter and Earth is 365 million miles (588 million km). Since one light year (the distance light travels in one year) is approximately 5,870,000,000,000 miles, the minimum distance between Jupiter and Earth is 0.0000621 light years.

∙ 13y agoThe distance changes because both Earth and Jupiter are orbiting the Sun and both Earth and Jupiter have elliptical orbits round the Sun.
There are therefore occasions when Jupiter and Earth are both on the same side of the Sun, but as Earth goes round the Sun much faster then Jupiter there are other occasions when Earth is on one side of the Sun and Jupiter is on the other.
The minimum distance that Jupiter comes to the Earth is about 365 million miles, while the maximum distance is about 577 million miles.
If you are interested in the precise distance from Earth to any other body in the solar system at the "present", the open-source planetarium program Stellarium is an excellent, and free, option. Download it from stellarium.org. For example, on March 5, 2011 at 10:15 AM PST, Jupiter is 542,640,219 miles and increasing, as the Earth races on ahead of Jupiter.

How long would it take to get to Jupiter in miles?
Jupiter is 390,674,710 miles from Earth. The time it would take to traverse this distance can only be determined if you provide the travel speed.
How many earth months does it take to make a year on Jupiter?
Jupiter's year is 4,332.71 days, or 142.5 months.
How many Earth days it take Europa to make a complete revolution around Jupiter?
Europa's orbital period around Jupiter is listed as 3.551 earth days.
The distance from the sun to Jupiter is 778000000000 miles so How long does it take for light from the sun to reach Jupiter?
You seem have too many zeros. Jupiter is 778 million Kilometers (778,000,000), NOT miles from the Sun. The number of miles is about 484 million (484,000,000). Light will take just over 40 minutes to reach Jupiter. The speed of light is abut 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second)
How many light years is Jupiter from earth?
Jupiter is about 43 light minutes from the earth on average.
How many earths would it take to get around Jupiter?
This question is normally worded "how many earth's would fit across the diameter of Jupiter?" The diameter of Jupiter is a little under 87,000 miles. Earth's diameter is a little under 8000 miles. 87,000/8000 = 10.9 (just about 11) earth diameters. Jupiter's circumference is 87,000(pi), or 273,000 miles. You could therefore fit 34 earths in a circle around Jupiter.
How long would it take to get to Jupiter in miles?
Jupiter is 390,674,710 miles from Earth. The time it would take to traverse this distance can only be determined if you provide the travel speed.
How many earth years does it take to Jupiter to orbit the sun?
Jupiter takes 11.8618 Earth years to orbit the sun once
How many month and miles does it take to get from earth to mars?
How many month and miles does it take to get from earth to mars?
How many earth does it takes to stretch across Jupiter?
Jupiter has a surface area of 23.71 billion sq miles (61.42 billion km sq). Earth has a surface area of 200 million sq miles (510.072 million km sq). So to find the answer to your question we take Jupiter's surface area and divide it by Earth's surface area. 23.71 billion / 200 million = 118.55 So, it would take approximately 118.55 earths to stretch across the surface of Jupiter!
How large is Jupiter seen from Saturn?
From my calculations the distance from Saturn to Jupiter is nearly the same distance it is from Earth to Jupiter. Give or take 50 million miles or so the view of Jupiter from Saturn would be about the same as our view here is on Earth. Good question!!
How many earth months does it take to make a year on Jupiter?
Jupiter's year is 4,332.71 days, or 142.5 months.
How many seconds does it take sunlight to get to Jupiter?
It takes 8 minutes to get to earth, and closer to half an hour to get to Jupiter.
How many earth days would it take to reach Jupiter?
well it would take approximately 49 earth days
How many days it take for Jupiter to orbit the sun?
4332.59 Earth days.
How many Earth years does it take for one Jupiter rotation?
It takes about 11.9 Earth years for Jupiter to orbit the Sun. (Jupiter rotates on its axis once in about 9 hours and 50 minutes.)
How many Earth-years does Jupiter take to orbit the sun?
It takes about 11.86 years for the planet Jupiter to orbit the sun. That is equivalent to about 4,332 earth days.
