The orbital periods for the 63 known moons have great variations depending on their distance from Jupiter, from just over 7 Earth hours to over 981 Earth days. The outer 48 moons orbit in the opposite direction from the inner 15 moons. The largest moon, Ganymede, has an orbital period of 7.15 Earth days, racing around the planet in an orbit about a million miles from Jupiter's center.

How long would it take to travel to Europa if you traveled at the speed of light?

To the Moon Europa, you mean? Europa is a Moon of Jupiter; Jupiter is at a distance of about 40 minutes, on average. The distance from Earth varies, both because of the excentricity of Jupiter's orbit, and (mainly) because of the fact that the Earth goes on its orbit around the Sun.To the Moon Europa, you mean?
