As of September 26 2024, Jupiter is 440,850,712 miles (709,328,796 kilometers) away from Earth, which is about 4.74157013730316 AU. Where does this live distance data come from? I source Jupiter’s distance from Earth via the Horizon JPL API.
This bonus view is provided so you can determine if Jupiter currently may be visible from your location on Earth. Of course, Jupiter can generally be seen only at night, though it may be visible in very clear skies for a few minutes before sunset or after sunrise when the planet is at its brightest.
Size and Distance. With a radius of 43,440.7 miles (69,911 kilometers), Jupiter is 11 times wider than Earth. If Earth were the size of a grape, Jupiter would be about as big as a basketball. From an average distance of 484 million miles (778 million kilometers), Jupiter is 5.2 astronomical units away from the Sun.
Jupiter is currently in the constellation of Taurus. The current Right Ascension is 05h 21m 49s and the Declination is +22° 25’ 49”. Right now, from the selected location (Greenwich, UK), Jupiter is not visible because it is below the horizon. You can check Jupiter Rise and Set Times to know when Jupiter will rise from your location.
