9 hours and 50 minutes
it takes Jupiter 10 earth hours to make a Jupiter day.
The sidereal rotation period (how long it takes a planet to rotate about its axis relative to the stars) for Jupiter is 0.41 Earth days or 9 hours, 55 minutes, and 30 seconds.
A day on Jupiter is about 10 Earth hours long.

Jupiter takes about 9 hours 56 minutes to do one full rotation, compared to 24 hours here on Earth. This velocity is based on the visible cloud layers, and represents an equatorial rotation speed of 45,000 kph (28,000 mph), the fastest for any planet.

(see related question)
Jupiter's rotation period is 9.925 hours. It is 2.4 times faster than Earth's rotation period.
About ten hours; however, since Jupiter is not solid but a gas giant, its rotation time varies with latitude. Features near the equator complete a rotation in 9 hours 50 minutes; those at higher latitudes take about five minutes longer.

ANSWER:

Jupiter rotates in about 9.925 hours or 9 hours 55.5 minutes.


The rotation time for Jupiter is 9 hrs 55 minutes.

However, since Jupiter is not solid but a gas giant, its rotation time varies with latitude. Features near the equator complete a rotation in 9 hours 50 minutes; those at higher latitudes take about five minutes longer.
The average rotational velocity of Jupiter at the equator is 12.6 kilometers per second. This means it takes less than ten hours to complete one rotation.
Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system rotating on average once in just under 10 hours.

That is very fast especially considering how large Jupiter is.

This means that Jupiter has the shortest day of all the planets in the solar

Since Jupiter is a gas planet, it does not rotate as a solid sphere.

Jupiter's equator rotates a bit faster than its polar regions at a speed of 28,273 miles/hour (about 43,000 kilometers/hour).

Jupiter's day varies from 9 hours and 56 minutes around the poles to 9 hours and 50 minutes close to the equator.

What is Jupiter's rotation?

Jupiter's rotation takes 9 hrs. and 50 minutes. I found out that it is an elliptical orbit and that it is the fastest rotation in our whole solar system. It also takes 11.85 Earth years to make one whole orbit.


How long is a day on Jupiter?

The length of one day in Jupiter is 9 earth hours and 50 earth minutesJupiter rotates once in about 10 hours.A day is defined as the times it takes a planet to make one complete rotation on it's axis. A revolution is the amount of time it takes to orbit the Sun once.Jupiter takes about 9 hours 56 minutes to do one full rotation, compared to 24 hours here on Earth.See related question for the a year on Jupiter.


How long does it take Jupiters moon Ganymede to make a full rotation?

It take 7 days to orbit and rotate. This moon has oxygen but it is not enough for living organisms. Of course there is no food, but there is under ground water. Even though there is water it is hard to live without food. There is also gravity and hails. The weather is cold. The nearest planet is Jupiter.


Does Io rotate on its axis?

Yes, Io does rotate on its axis, just like all other celestial bodies. It rotates once on its axis for every orbit around Jupiter, which is why one side of Io always faces Jupiter. This is known as synchronous rotation.


How fast does Jupiter spin on its axis?

Jupiter spins on its axis once approximately every 10 hours. This rapid rotation gives the planet its distinct oblate shape, with a noticeable bulge at the equator.
