The distance between Jupiter and the sun is 5.2 AU.

According to Kepler's third law, the square of the period of revolution of planets is proportional to the cube of their mean distances from the sun. From this; T^2 = r^3.

Now, we are told that the orbital period (T) is 11. 9 Earth years. We have to make the distance the subject of the formula.

r =T^2/3

r = (11.9)^2/3

r = 5.2 AU
