Alo ha,
I need to know how far would Jupiter need to be from earth to appear the same size as the moon or sun appear?
I know the moon is about 250,000 miles away and about 2100 miles wide, while the sun is about 93,000,000 miles away and about 900,000 miles wide. Jupiter is about 90,000 miles wide. Anybody got ideas?

There is a little math involved here but it's not to difficult so you should do your own homework problem.
