There will be about 367 million miles between Earth and Jupiter, according to NASA. Jupiter is about 600 million miles away from our home planet at its farthest point, the space agency said.
Jupiter is at opposition about every 13 months, the length of time the Earth takes to orbit the Sun in relation to Jupiter, according to EarthSky.
The gaseous planet will rise around sunset and look pearly white to the naked eye, said Patrick Hartigan, professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University in Houston. For a precise time of when to look in the sky, use the Old Farmer's Almanac's visible planets calculator.
