At this time, Jupiter is closest to the earth, with the brightest luminosity, which is most suitable for observation. Both the earth and Jupiter are from west to east, but the speed of the earth's revolution is much faster than Jupiter's, and the earth's orbit is smaller than Jupiter's. On the earth, Jupiter moves westward gradually, that is, it rises earlier every day. Exclude Venus and Mercury because they are not far from the sun and can only be seen at dusk and dawn. Excluding Mars, Mars overtook the sun in June 5438+last year 10, and Mars period of revolution was less than 23 months.
