Trevor, I think you be puttin words in his mouth!
I would think he means in 'kilometres' or some simple measuring system a kid can understand like how many Holden Commodores, or how many drinking straws end-to-end

Actually, I was thinking he was asking something like that too. But he clarified the question a bit more, I must admit his dad helped a bit. His dad said something like "I think he wants to know compared to our planet are they a long way away, because Jupiter is much larger than the earth?" The same kid also asked how long do they take to make an orbit, and where was the red spot, how big were the "storms" and heaps of others that I sort of tried to change the subject. The kid was a bit too smart for me
