Jupiter's location is not an error. It's right where it's supposed to be.
It is difficult to have zero error when working out positions in space because of the distances involved, the further away the object the larger the margin of error. Jupiter is fairly close (cosmically speaking) so the error is very small. However due the the gravitational influence of the other planets, its orbit is not an exact mathematical ellipse. Therefore we have a very small error of perhaps +/- 1km when working out the location, this is tiny when you consider the million kilometre distances that Jupiter travels in its orbit. Also the sheer size of Jupiter makes it more difficult to be precise as the location is calculated from where the centre of the planet would be.

How do you calculate the error of a median for a non-parametric distribution?
You would need to take repeated samples, find their median and then calculate the standard error of these values.
How do you calculate percentage error for density of pennies?
Percent error refers to the percentage difference between a measured value and an accepted value. To calculate the percentage error for density of pennies, the formula is given as: percent error = [(measured value - accepted value) / accepted value] x 100.
Write the equation used to calculate percent error?
Percentage error = Value experimental-Value acceptedValueaccepted x 100
How can you calculate standard error in volume?
The standard error is calculated by dividing the actual volume by the experimental volume. This is a common technique used in the laboratory.
How do you calculate the vacuum at a certain location if the atmospheric and absolute pressure is given?
It isn't clear what you want to calculate.
