Jupiter's orbit around the sun takes approximately 11.86 Earth years, or about 4,332 Earth days.
Jupiter's orbit is much longer than Earth's, as it takes Earth only 365.24 days to orbit the sun. This means Jupiter's orbit is about 12 times longer than Earth's.
Yes, Jupiter's orbit follows a regular pattern, known as an elliptical orbit. This means that it follows a curved path around the sun, with the sun at one of the two foci of the ellipse.
Since the beginning of the solar system, it is estimated that Jupiter has completed over 4 billion orbits around the sun.
Yes, Jupiter's orbit can have a gravitational influence on the orbits of other planets, particularly those closer to the sun. This is known as the "Jupiter Effect" and can cause slight changes in the orbits of these planets over time.
