In the myth of Europa, the bull symbolizes Zeus, who took on the form of a bull to win Europa's affections. It represents power, virility, and seduction. The bull also serves as a symbol of transformation and the unpredictable nature of desire.
Yes. Europa is tidally locked to Jupiter, meaning it completes one rotation every orbit. As a result, one side always faces Jupiter.
Europa's surface temperature averages about 110 K (−160 °C; −260 °F) at the equator and only 50 K (−220 °C; −370 °F) at the poles, keeping Europa's icy crust as hard as granite.
One of the natural satellites of Jupiter, Europa, has double ridges all over the surface. The cause of this is because the surface of Europa is ice and the planet turns from oval to circle. A squishing kind of thing. That causes the ice to crack and the water beneath comes up and freezes because the temperature is very very cold. This repeats over and over and that causes the double ridges on its surface.
It has dark regions and that may show the areas where Europa's water and ice has a higher mineral content.
Interesting celestial object. Probably has life on it.
The average temperature on the surface of Europa (as in one of Saturn's moons) is around -260 degrees Fahrenheit.
Like a large star. Europa is roughly ten times farther from the sun as is the earth.
The water in the ocean could possibly be kept warm by heat coming from inside Europa.
Europa's internal composition has not been directly analyzed, neither has it's surface, however using absorption lines and refraction scientists have determined that it has large amounts of O2 in it's atmosphere, if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
It should also be noted that it is hypothesised that europa has a large ocean below it's ice surface about as thick as the earth's atmosphere, and that under this there is a large mantle layer (Similar to that of earth) and an iron core.
This is a 50-Lepta Coin from Greece - and depending on condition, the book value is not much over a dollar or so at best. Neverthless, it's a great coin to inspire starting a cool world coin collection - an inexpensive and very fun hobby! Hope this helps. -Inge, J&J Coins, Colorado
By Mars's 3'd moon, not joking if you're an Astronomist this question is a piece of cake.
There is an ocean on Europa which contains liquid water. Other than the Earth, Europa is the only place in the solar system where we have found liquid water. Life as we know it is very dependent upon liquid water, and life is believed to have originally evolved in the water, before moving to the land.
Once -- that is the Jovian year.
An orbit around the sun is a "year" for whatever planet is concerned. However, Jupiter is much farther from the Sun than Earth, and takes about 11.86 Earth years to complete one orbit of the Sun -- this is about 4332 Earth days.
Europa (gr.) was a Phoenician princess. Her name means "Wide-seeing" or "Far seeing".
