What else can I help you with?
Why do the moons of Jupiter which are solid mass not 'suck ' the gases which make up the planet of Jupiter from the planet . The planet is after all less dense than than its moons.?
cause they stay i orbit because of jupiters gravity not there own so jupiter would suck the gas from its moons but not vice versa
Why do the moons stay in orbit of Jupiter?
Gravity holds satellites in orbit.
Why do moons orbit Jupiter?
Moons orbit Jupiter because of the combined influence of gravity. and the forward motion of the moons. If there were gravity along, the moons would fall into Jupiter. If there were only forward motion, the moos would fly off into space.
What does the galilean moons have to do with gravity?
Gravity keeps them in orbit around Jupiter.
What force keeps the moons of Jupiter in orbit around the planet?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
How long does it take Callisto one of Jupiters moons to orbit the sun?
It takes 11.86 Earth years for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
How do the moons of Jupiter stay in orbit?
Gravity, just like our moon. gravity pulls it around
How many moons are in the planet Jupiters?
Jupiter has four moons that orbit it. the names of these moons are IO (eye-oh) Callisto, Europa and Ganymede.Time taken for the moons to orbit Jupiter:IO- 1.7 Earth yearsCallisto- 16.7 Earth yearsEuropa- 3.5 Earth yearsGanymede- 7.1 Earth years
Which five moons orbit Jupiter?
63 known moons orbit Jupiter.
How do the moons stay in orbit with jupiter?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's gravitational pull. Gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other, keeping the moons in orbit around Jupiter as they continuously fall towards the planet but also travel sideways at a fast enough speed to avoid crashing into it.
How come moons orbit Jupiter even though sun have greater gravitational pull?
If you compare surface gravity, yes the sun's gravity is stronger than that of Jupiter. But gravity decreases in strength as you get farther from the object. Jupiter's moons are close enough to Jupiter and far enough from the sun that Jupiter's gravity has more influence.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
