In very very very round figures . . .

-- Jupiter is about 5.2 times as far from the sun as the earth is.

-- So when Jupiter and the EARTH are aligned in both orbits, Jupiter is about

(4.2) x (150 million kilometers) = 630 million kilometers

Time = (distance) / (speed)

The speed of light and radio is 300,000 km/second

Time = (630 million / 300 thousand)

Time = 2,100 seconds

That's 35 minutes.
