* Distance from the Sun: Jupiter is about 5.2 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun, which is about five times farther than Earth. The amount of light received decreases with the square of the distance.

* Sunlight Intensity: This means that Jupiter receives only about 4% of the sunlight that Earth does.

While Jupiter does have some light, it's significantly dimmer than what we experience on Earth. You wouldn't be able to read a book comfortably on Jupiter just from the Sun's light.

However, Jupiter's atmosphere reflects a surprising amount of sunlight, which is why we can see it so easily in the night sky.
