How many earth years is Jupiter's orbit around the sun?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
Jupiter's orbit around the sun takes approximately 12 Earth years. This conclusion was reached through clarification in the forum discussion, where incorrect estimates of 162 years and 4282 years were presented. The number 4282 refers to the total number of days in Jupiter's orbital period, which is 4332 days. This precise measurement highlights the significant difference between Jupiter's orbital period and the incorrect figures initially suggested.
