Use a ruler to find that the distance from the edge of Jupiter to the torus is about 2.5 times
the diameter of Jupiter. Accounting for the half of Jupiter that is its own radius, this is
about 3 Jupiter diameters or 6 Jupiter radii.
Jupiter radius is about 7 10 km .

Calculate the radius of Torus at 6 times of Jupiter radius.

6  7 10 4 km  4.2 105 km

Hence, the torus is about the same distance from Jupiter as the moon Io itself, which is
4.2  105 km .
