Answer:

The distance from the Sun to Jupiter is approximately 779 million km, or 484 million miles. The exact number is 778,547,200 km.

This number is an average because Jupiter and the rest of the Solar System follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Sometimes it’s closer than 779 million km, and other times it’s more distant. When Jupiter is at its closest point in its orbit, astronomers call this perihelion; for Jupiter, this is 741 million km. At its most distant point, called aphelion, Jupiter gets out to 817 millio

Answer:

  780,000,000 km  or  780 Gm

Step-by-step explanation:

The approximate distance will be 5.2 times the length of an astronomical unit:

  (5.2)(150,000,000) = 780,000,000 km

_____

SI standard prefixes are available for multipliers up to 10^18. Here, we have 7.8×10^11 m, so we can write that using standard prefixes as either of ...

  780 gigameters = 780 Gm

  0.78 terameters = 0.78 Tm
