Jupiter is located an average of 466 million miles from the sun. At its closest point, Earth and Jupiter are more than 390 million miles apart. At their farthest, the two planets are more than 576 million miles apart.

3. Temperatures and moons ? What’s the temperature like? The temperature in the cloud tops of planet Jupiter is -234 fahrenheit but if you were to falling from the cloud tops, closer to the middle of the planet (where the atmospheric pressure becomes about ten times what it is on Earth) the temperatures would actually be around 55 degrees F. If you were to fall further, the temperatures would become incredibly hot. How many moons does it have? Jupiter has at least 63 moons, more than any other planet. The four Galilean moons of Jupiter are the biggest. These moons were discovered by Galileo himself they first moons discovered of any planet other than Earth’s.
