1st, you need to know how far Jupiter is from the sun. 2nd, you know. Answer: it varies.

∙ 7y agoBecause 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.

∙ 7y agoThe distance varies greatly as the two planets orbit the Sun.
The closest the two get is about 588 million kilometers, and this is only when Jupiter is its closest to the Sun, Earth is at its farthest, and the two are lined up on the same side of the Sun (i.e. Jupiter is in opposition).
If they are on directly opposite sides of the Sun, which they are every 399 Earth days, they can be as far as 968 million kilometers apart.
Jupiter is about 5 AU (astronomical units) from the Sun; Earth is 1 AU from the Sun, this makes the distance between Earth and Jupiter vary between 4 and 6 AU, depending on whether Jupiter is in conjunction or in opposition.
Both planets orbit the sun and the distance between them varies greatly, since at some times both are on the same side of the sun, but at other times, on opposite sides.

Edit: The previous answer is not correct. When Jupiter and Earth are closest, Jupiter is approximately 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.

Does earth have rings how many and how far out into space do they go?
if your talking about the ones that Saturn and Jupiter have well then earth has no rings around it
Is Jupiter's gravity stronger then Earth's?
No. The gravity of Jupiter more than twice as strong as that on Earth.
Where is planet Jupiter relation to the sun and planet earth?
Jupiter is the 5th planet out from the Sun. The planet Mars (in 4th place) is right in between our planet Earth and Jupiter. Is 1000 times bigger than earth!
What is the distance between the earth and Jupiter?
*390,682,810 miles. If the Earth and Jupiter are not in a line with the sun with the sun in the middle, however, this answer will be incorrect.
How many Jupiter days in a earth year?
Jupiter takes 11.86 years to orbit once around the sun, which is 4332 days.
How far away is Jupiter from the earth in years?
4
How far is earth away from Jupiter in mm?

Earth is how many days from Jupiter?
At its closest, Jupiter is 588.42 million kilometers from Earth, or 32.7 light minutes. At its furthest, with Jupiter on the far side of the Sun form Earth, Jupiter is 53.8 light minutes away.
Why do 12 earth years equal 1 year on Jupiter?
It is because Earth is near to the Sun and Jupiter is far so when Earth turns 11 turns (years) it will be 1 year in Jupiter...
Why can't you see Jupiter's rings from earth?
because you are to far.
Which rocky planet has the strongest magnetosphere?
Jupiter. By Far
Is the orbit of Jupiter larger than the orbit of Earth?
Yes, Jupiter is about 5 times as far from the Sun.
What if Jupiter was earths moon?
Impossible. If true, it would have to be the other way around, whereas Earth will be Jupiter's moon. This is because the gravitational field of Jupiter is FAR greater than Earth's.
Why do you not notice Jupiter's pull of gravity?
Because you are so far away from Jupiter, and so much closer to the Earth.
Does the Earth have more gravity than Jupiter?
Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system, has far more gravity than the Earth. Only the Sun has more gravity than Jupiter in our solar system.
How far is Jupiter from earth and from the sun?
It is 93 million (average) miles from the sun
