  • How many days would Jupiter be hidden behind the sun in relationship to the Earth's orbit? The Orbit of Jupiter is said to be 11.86 years to the Earth's one year! Do you have a way to figure out the time it would be obscured by the Sun's bright light when it is on the other side of the Sun n relationship to our Earth?
