Ganymede does not orbit the sun. It orbits Jupiter, which orbits the sun. Ganymede orbits Jupiter every 7.15 days. Jupiter orbits the sun every 11.86 years.
Ganymede, the moon of Jupiter, is in orbit around Jupiter so its transit around the Sun would be the same as Jupiter's, about 11.8 Earth years. 1036 Ganymede, the asteroid, has an orbital period of about 4.34 Earth years.
The orbital period of Ganymede around Jupiter is 7.154 Earth days, or about one Earth week.
16.7 earth days
It take 7 days to orbit and rotate. This moon has oxygen but it is not enough for living organisms. Of course there is no food, but there is under ground water. Even though there is water it is hard to live without food. There is also gravity and hails. The weather is cold. The nearest planet is Jupiter.

roughly 7 days

Since Callisto is a moon of Jupiter, it orbits the Sun together with Jupiter - and takes just as long as Jupiter to orbit the Sun.

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.
Scientists don't know that yet, but there's no rule that says smaller mass must have shorter orbit. Look at the planets: the biggest is Jupiter and the outer planets have longer orbits.
