[abstract]

Its roughly the same as rosie'o'donnells belly!

just kidding..............
The diameter of the planet Jupiter is 142,984 kilometers.
That is, the diameter of Jupiter is about 11.21 times the Earth's diameter.

I had to read it 3 or 4 times myself. Diameter of orbit is not a widely considered aspect in astronomy.

It is, however, a useful dimension to know with regards to the Earth as it enables the calculation of the distance to nearby stars using parallax.

Perihelion (closest point to the Sun) is 7.4052 x 10 to the eighth km

Aphelion is 8.1662 x 10 to the eighth km

Orbital period is 11.86 years or 4,333 days.

Minimum distance to earth = 5.885 x 10>8
