However, we can calculate the minimum and maximum distances in light minutes:
* Minimum distance: When Earth and Jupiter are closest, the distance is about 365 million miles (588 million kilometers). This takes light about 43 minutes to travel.
* Maximum distance: When Earth and Jupiter are farthest apart, the distance is about 601 million miles (968 million kilometers). This takes light about 71 minutes to travel.
So, the answer is between 43 and 71 light minutes, depending on the relative positions of the two planets.
