How far is it from the Earth to Jupiters moon Europa?
The distance from here to Europa is almost exactly the same as the distance from here to Jupiter, since Europa always stays close to Jupiter. The distance to Jupiter varies quite a bit as both Jupiter and the earth orbit the sun at different rates. Depending on where the two planets happen to be in their orbits, our distance from Jupiter can be as close as about 367 million miles (about 33 minutes at lightspeed); or as far as about 600 million miles (about 54 minutes at lightspeed).
