  • Jupiter's Orbital Period & Rotation: Length of a Year & Day
    Here's the breakdown of Jupiter's year and day:

    * Year: Jupiter takes 11.86 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun. This is because its orbit is much larger than Earth's.

    * Day: Jupiter rotates very quickly. A day on Jupiter is only 9 hours and 55 minutes long. This means that Jupiter experiences a day much faster than Earth.

    Interesting fact: Due to Jupiter's fast rotation, it bulges at the equator and is flattened at the poles.
