Actual Size of Sun: 1,391,000 km (864,000 mi) AU (“Astronomical Unit”) is the average distance between the Sun and Earth: 150 million km (93 million mi) A little more than 100 Sun diameters will span the distance of one AU.
Diameter of planets and their distance from the Sun in kilometers (km):
Relative orbital distances of the Galilean moons. • As the four moons oribt Jupiter, they change their relative positions with each other. Great Red Spot Moon transiting. They are seen as up to four pinpoints on either side of the planet, all in a line.
From an average distance of 484 million miles (778 million kilometers), Jupiter is 5.2 astronomical units away from the Sun. One astronomical unit (abbreviated as AU), is the distance from the Sun to Earth. From this distance, it takes Sunlight 43 minutes to travel from the Sun to Jupiter.
1. How big is Jupiter? Jupiter measures 142,984 km (88,846 miles) across. That’s over 11 times wider than the Earth. To put it another way: if Jupiter were an empty bowl, you could fit over 1,300 bodies the size of the Earth inside it. No surprise that Jupiter is known as the Giant Planet. 2. How long does Jupiter take to orbit the Sun?
