A. 0.28 years
B. 1.16 years
C. 2.41 years
D. 3.32 years

Answer 1

C.2.41 years..............

Answer 2

C. 2.41 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the earth is 150 million km from the sun this means that the distance between Jupiter and the earth ranges from 628 million km to 928 million km. To say that 778 million km is near or far is very relative as shown by the following examples: Jupiter is 5.2 times farther from the Sun than Earth.

The average distance between Jupiter and the Sun is 778 million kilometers, approximately 5.2 AU.
