1 The Earth is much closer to the Sun than it is to Jupiter.  Distances from the Sun are measured in Astronomical Units (AU). The Earth is the standard unit, and is one AU from the Sun, so an AU equals 150 million kilometres (93 million miles), the distance of the Earth from the Sun.

The distances between each planet in our solar system will vary depending on each orbit. No planet has a perfectly circular orbit around the sun and therefore the distance between each planet can take on two very extreme numbers. For example, the distance between Mercury and Earth can range from 77 million kilometres at their closest point, to 222 million kilometres at their farthest.

Both Jupiter and Earth follow elliptical orbits, so their distances from one another and the sun change from year to year. NASA recently launched a spacecraft named Juno to explore Jupiter more closely. Juno was launched in August 2011 and should arrive in Jupiter's orbit in 2016.

1 Jupiter has a diameter of 88,700 miles, or 142,750 kilometres.  Jupiter is the fifth planet in order from the Sun and is about 483 million miles, or 777 million kilometres from the Sun. Figure 1 shows the planets in order but the distances are not to scale. The Earth is much closer to the Sun than it is to Jupiter.

Figure 1: Distance from Sun showing how The Earth is closer to the Sun than it is to Jupiter. All planets in the Solar system orbit round the Sun. The Earth takes just over 365 days, so the Earth’s year is 365 days. It takes Jupiter 11.9 of the Earth’s years to make its orbit round the Sun.

The distance between Jupiter and Earth varies from 365 million miles to 601 million miles. At the closest approach, Jupiter can approach Venus' brilliance in the night sky.

According to NASA, Earth has an equatorial radius of 6,378.1 kilometers, whereas Jupiter has an equatorial radius of 71,492 kilometers. The Encyclopaedia Britannica states that Jupiter is bigger than all the other planets in the Solar System combined.

How far away from the sun is Jupiter's moon Europa? Jupiter's moon Europa is located approximately 485 million miles from the sun, although the distance varies based on the locations of Jupiter and Europa on their orbits. Europa is located about 414,000 miles from Jupiter and orbits the planet ever 3 ½ days.

Planet Distance Matrix. Below is a matrix of the eight planets in our solar system and their respective distances from each other. Each distance is calculated as an average and converted into astronomical units (AU) where 1 AU = the distance between the Sun and Earth = 149,598,000 kilometres. This chart is based on averages and the distances from one planet to another have been calculated by the difference in their mean distance from the sun.

And when Reddit-user mubinusprime started the discussion with GIF, others weighed in: The gas giant would make it warmer around here unless we’d be farther from the sun. Also it has it’s own moons so they would also do some gravity stuff. Super-strong tides anyhow. edit: Several people mentioned radiation from Jupiter. And it would probably f*ck us up completely, so it wouldn’t be a very scary scenario… since we’d be dead.
