The distance between Earth and Jupiter is approximately 483 million miles, so it would take 43 minutes to travel from Earth to Jupiter at the speed of light; however, depending upon the vehicle and the route taken it varies from 13 months to six years. Also, the distance from Earth to Jupiter is forever changing; therefore, the time it takes to reach Jupiter from Earth is varied.
