Ganymede is Jupiter's largest moon, and Jupiter sits nearly 800 million kilometers from the sun. The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second. So do the math and you'll see that it takes about 43 minutes for sunlight to reach Ganymede from its source.


Callisto has a smaller mass than Ganymede so why does it take a longer time to orbit Jupiter?
