KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter’s average distance from the Sun is 480 million miles and takes nearly 12 years to make one revolution. Like the rest of the gas giants, Jupiter has a ring, albeit small and flat. Its rotation is the fastest of all solar system planets, rotating once on its axis every 10 hours.

Detailed explanation-2: -Orbit and Rotation Jupiter has the shortest day in the solar system. One day on Jupiter takes only about 10 hours (the time it takes for Jupiter to rotate or spin around once), and Jupiter makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Jovian time) in about 12 Earth years (4, 333 Earth days).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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).
