And how long is a day on Jupiter?

Answer
Dear Lisa
Jupiter orbits the Sun in 11,862 years, so in 4332.59 days.
A day lasts 9 hours 55 minutes, but that is ‘approximately’ because Jupiter is a gas planet that rotates slightly faster at its equator than close to the poles. This is also the case with the Sun.
