How far is jupiter from earth in light years?

The fifth and largest of the solar planets, Jupiter orbits the sun at a distance that is more than five times greater than that of the Earth's distance from the sun. Since both planets travel around the sun in an elliptical path, the distance between Earth and Jupiter can range from 365 million to 601 million miles. read more

Because both planets travel in an elliptical path around the sun, Jupiter's distance from Earth is constantly changing. When the two planets are at their closest point, the distance to Jupiter is only 365 million miles (588 million kilometers). read more

The average distance is about 1.58203628 Ã 10 -5 light years. A little over 8 minutes. So, less than 1 light year. The sun is 93 million miles away, and light travels 186,000 miles per second, so light would cover that distance in 500 seconds, or about 8 minutes. One light year is about 5.9 trillion miles. read more
