What is Jupiter's orbital speed & what shape is Jupiter's orbit?

2010-05-01 2:48 am
I need to find out how fast the speed of Jupiter's orbit is & the shape of it. I can't find it anywhere.
I found that the orbit is kind of circular & the the orbit is 13.1 but they didn't give an exact shape & a justification.
So I really need help with this, please & thank you (:

Jupiters *average* orbital velocity -13.07 km/s This varies because Jupiter's orbit is elliptical - "kind of circular" -- so when it's farthest from the sun it moves slower, and when it's closer to the sun it moves faster.

1. Jupiter's orbit is elliptical.
2 The average orbital speed is 13.07 km/s

What does "13.1" mean in your question?

The orbit of Jupiter, like the orbit of all the planets, is very close to an ellipse. The furthest distance from the sun is 5.458104 AU, and the closest is 4.950429 AU. The eccentricity of the orbit is 0.048775.

The speed of Jupiter in its orbit varies, with an average of about 13.07 km. It takes 4,331.572 days (11.85920 years) for Jupiter to go around the Sun once.
