Journey Time to Jupiter.
The time it takes to travel to Jupiter depends on various factors, including planetary position and available technology. The distance between Earth and Jupiter is constantly changing as they orbit the sun in elliptical paths. The fastest spacecraft so far is NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which reached a top speed of 101 miles per second during its 10th close flyby of the sun. The spacecraft that took the shortest amount of time to reach Jupiter was NASA's New Horizons, which zipped over to the gas giant in 405 days for a 2007 flyby. Previous missions to Jupiter took between 546 days and 6 years, 1 month and 19 days to reach the planet.
