However, Jupiter does not technically orbit the sun — because it's so dauntingly massive. When a small object orbits a big object in space, the less massive one doesn't travel in a perfect ...
system-sounds.com converts the orbits of Jupiter moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Calisto into a mind-bending visual and audio experience.
At its farthest point, Jupiter is about 601 million miles away from Earth, but it gets as close as 365 million miles, depending on the position of the planets in their orbits.
