Best Answer

Io's gravity is 1.796 m/s2 (0.183 g)

If you weighed 100 kg on Earth, you'd weigh 18.3 kg on Io.

Yes. Everything with mass has gravity. The surface gravity of Io is about 18% that of Earth.

Where does Io get its heat from?

Io's heat is generated by tidal forces produced by the gravity of Jupiter and the other three Galilean moons.


Why does Io have no H2O?

Any water ice that existed on Io was likely boiled off by frequent volcanic activity. Io's gravity was likely insufficient to hold onto the hot water vapor.


What is the gravity of the moon Io relative to earth's gravity?

The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.


If an object weighed 100 lbs on Earth how much would it weigh on Io?

It would still weigh 100lbs, though the gravity on Io would affect its apparent weight so you could lift it like was about an 18 lb weight on earth.

Peripheral-Mapped IO is IO that is selected when the IO/M- line is high.


What causes volcanoes on Io?

Io's energy source is external---Jupiter's gravity. Io orbits very close to Jupiter, the planet's huge gravitational field produces strong tidal forces on the moon, resulting in a large tidal bulge. If Io were Jupiter's only satellite, it would have long ago have come into a state of synchronous rotation with the planet. In that case, Io would move in a perfectly circular orbit with one face permanently turned toward Jupiter. The tidal bulge would be stationary, and there would be no internal stresses and no volcanism. However, Io experiences tidal pull from Jupiter's other moons also.


What is the source of Io's volcanic activity?

With over 400 active volcanoes, Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System. This extreme geologic activity is the result of tidal heating from friction generated within Io's interior by Jupiter's varying pull.
