just kidding..............
The diameter of the planet Jupiter is 142,984 kilometers.
That is, the diameter of Jupiter is about 11.21 times the Earth's diameter.

I had to read it 3 or 4 times myself. Diameter of orbit is not a widely considered aspect in astronomy.

It is, however, a useful dimension to know with regards to the Earth as it enables the calculation of the distance to nearby stars using parallax.

Perihelion (closest point to the Sun) is 7.4052 x 10 to the eighth km

Aphelion is 8.1662 x 10 to the eighth km

Orbital period is 11.86 years or 4,333 days.

Minimum distance to earth = 5.885 x 10>8
