The trouble is the layer of liquid hydrogen over the core, with a 27 kilometer hydrogen atmosphere over that. One would have to be floating on that ocean, and look up through the atmosphere to see the moons.
Not very feasible.
On the other hand, if you were flying above the clouds, the moons would be visible without difficulty.
He could only make out four of Jupiters' largest moons.
The order of brightness of Jupiter's major moons from brightest to faintest is Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is the closest to Jupiter and receives more sunlight, while Callisto is the farthest and receives the least amount of sunlight, making it the dimmest of the four.
Galileo is famous for having seen the four main moons of Jupiter.
You would not be able to see the moons from the surface; Jupiter's atmosphere is too thick.
Galileo is the first person known to have seen the four largest moons of Jupiter. It took much better telescopes than Galileo's to see the myriad smaller bodies that orbit the largest planet. The current count of moons of Jupiter is 63, but there are certainly others too small to see using our current telescopes. And this doesn't count the smaller bodies which make up Jupiter's partial ring system.

Astronomical observations of Jupiter have been made for centuries using telescopes. Several spacecraft missions have also been sent to study Jupiter up close, including the Galileo and Juno missions, which have provided valuable insights into the planet's atmosphere, moons, and magnetic field.
because there are a lot of moons that surround Jupiter and they rotate around Jupiter at different paces not all can be seen at the same time
Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis. These can be seen from Earth; the moons' shadows are seen moving over Jupiter's surface. Well, Jupiter's visible part at any rate - it doesn't have a surface like Earth.Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis.

Yes, all four of Jupiter's large moons can be seen with binoculars.
They're fairly big for moons, although Jupiter itself is big. The four "Galilean" moons of Jupiter were the first "moons" other than our own Moon to be seen, by Galileo using his new telescope.
The angular diameter of Jupiter as seen from Callisto is approximately 65 arcminutes. This means that Jupiter appears to be about 1 degree wide in the sky from Callisto, which is one of Jupiter's moons.
