One cell contains 2 meters of follded dna 1 A human has 36 trillion cells 2 The distance between Earth and Jupiter varies from 588 million km to 999 million km and averages at 601 million kilometers 3
36 trillion * 2 meters / 0,6 trillion meters
120 times to Jupiter (or 60 times back an forth) on average
Or 72 times to Jupiter (36 times back and forth) at the highest distance
