E

and then when you get near to landing

.......................................…
............................... r -->


E is out of site maybe or has traveled around a couple times in the time we have traveled to Jupiter


..............................r -->J


so where E is when you land doesnt matter what matters is you travelled a straight line from earth to jupiter how far will that be

http://www.telescope.org/nuffield/pas/so…

using this as a guide

jupiter is 778 million km

earth is 150 million km

so the shortest distance is 778 *10^6 - 150*10^6 = 628 *10^6

at 100 km/hour
t = distance/speed

t = 628*10^6/ 1*10^2
t = 628*10^6 *10^-2
t = 628*10^4 hours
t = 6.28*10^6 hours

this is 6.28 million hours to arrive at jupiter

8760 hours in a year
means it would take 716.9 years to arrive there

the earth would orbit the sun 716.9 times in the trip

and jupiter would orbit

716.9*(365/4332) = 60.4 orbits

thats a very very long trip

Longer than you'll live.
Closest approach, about 628,000,000K
