Of course Jupiter will be about 180 million miles further away from where it would appear it’s brightest to us. Just saying

Jupiter will be about 180 million miles further away from where it would appear its brightest to us.

It's still fairly bright at magnitude -1.5 and easy to see from no matter where one is, including light-polluted big cities. Venus is a good deal brighter at -3.8 (the larger the negative value, the brighter an object is).
