Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter is on average five times farther from the Sun than Earth, and it takes much longer to complete an orbit than our planet does, 12 years to our 1 year.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jupiter rotates once about every 10 hours (a Jovian day), but takes about 12 Earth years to complete one orbit of the Sun (a Jovian year).
Detailed explanation-3: -Jupiter’s average distance from the Sun is 480 million miles and takes nearly 12 years to make one revolution.
