The distance from the Sun to Jupiter varies because Jupiter's orbit is not a perfect circle.

* At its closest point (perihelion), Jupiter is about 741 million kilometers (460 million miles) from the Sun.

* At its farthest point (aphelion), Jupiter is about 817 million kilometers (508 million miles) from the Sun.

So, the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is approximately 779 million kilometers (484 million miles) on average.
