    5.2011 AU

    Explanation:

    According to the Kepler's Third law

    a³ = T²

    Here,

    a is the distance between the sun and the Jupiter in astronomical units (AU)

    and

    T is the orbiting period of Jupiter around the sun in years

    also,

    T = 11.8618 years

    Therefore,

    The above relation comes as;

    a³ = 11.8618²

    or

    a³ = 140.70

    or

    a = 5.2011 AU

    Hence,

    the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is 5.2011 AU
