Need answer by Thursday, doing an assignment and I can't find the answer anywhere !?!

Due to their elliptical orbits, this changes on a daily basis.
When Earth and Jupiter are closest to one another, they're 628,743,036 million km apart. At 100 km/hour, it would take 6,287,430.36 hours. This is 261,976.265 days, or 717.7432 years.
When Earth and Jupiter are furthest from one another, they're 928,081,020 million km apart. At 100 km/hour, it would take 9,280,810.2 hours. This is 386,700.425 days, or 1,059.4532 years.
Therefore, it would take anywhere from 717.7432 years to 1,059.4532 years to reach Jupiter from Earth, travelling at 100km/hr.

find jupiters orbit
then find earths orbit ..
there will be many different scenarios if the earth is on the opposite side of the sun as jupiter you will have to travel the distance from the earth to the sun then the distance from the sun to JUPITER ..
SO you would add earth orbit radius to jupiter orbit radius
but if the earth is on the same side as jupiter then the minimum distance would be
radius of jupiter orbit MINUS radius of earth orbit because earth is closer to jupiter by that amount..
when you travel to a planet the planet is moving too so you try to predict where the planet will be when you will arrive at the point after traveling through space on a generally straight line..
so I would choose the model where the distance is minimum we could plan the trip so that the orbit of jupiter could coincide with the orbit of the earth when you are launched making it seem that you travel a straight line

a while later
see how jupiter is moving toward where we will be and earth is moving away
