If you were able to live on Jupiter could Ganymede cause a solar eclipse?

Yes. From Earth, you can see the shados of the four greater moons when they pass in front of Jupiter - this means that for a Jupiterian, the moon would eclipse the Sun. It is interesting to note that unlike on Earth, on Jupiter this is an almost daily phenomenon.

What is the biggest satellite in the solar system of?
Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, is the largest natural satellite in our solar system. But you could argue that Jupiter is the largest as it is a satellite of our sun. You could also argue that our own sun is a satellite of the galactic centre.
Does the moon Ganymede have the same phases as Earth's moon?
If you could somehow stand on Jupiter's surface and observe Ganymede (and any of the other moons,) then yes, they would exhibit the same phases as earth's moon.
What phase could the moon cause a solar eclipse?
New Moon only.
Why is Ganymede not considered a dwarf planet?
A dwarf planet is not considered a planet because it does not dominate its orbital path and cannot clear that path of debris.
What is the effect of solar eclipse in your transportation?
it will cause trafic because the drivers will watch it (If so, would you say the eclipse caused the traffic, or could it have been the distracted drivers who did ?)

Could Jupiter's atmosphere stop the earth?
yes it could cause of its gravity
What planet has a moon that is like a frozen earth?
Jupiter. The moon of Jupiter named Ganymede has some characteristics similar to Earth. Although it is much smaller, it has an iron core and is covered in water ice. Its gravity is more than twice as strong as Earth's Moon. But "like Earth" does not mean it could support life. Perhaps people in the future will use water from Ganymede for many purposes.
Could something go through Jupiter cause Its made of gas?
the answer is yes because Jupiter is made by gas.
Why do scientists think that Ganymede's interior may have been heated a billion years ago?
Ganymede formed about 4.5 billion years ago, but the core might have been heated as recently as 1 billion years ago. That could have happened if Ganymede temporarily followed an orbit that brought it alternately close to Jupiter and then far away. http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/gnymde.html

What are Jupiters main moons?
Jupiter, the biggest planet in our astonishing solar system. Jupiter has 60+ known moons. But there are four main moons, Io, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede. Io is 3,630 km in diameter and is 421,600 km away from Jupiter. It is very active, and has constant volcanic eruption. Europa is 3,138 km in diameter and is 670,900 km away from Jupiter. Astronomers think that underneath its crust, it may harbor an ocean. Ganymede is 5,262 km in diameter - the largest moon in our Solar System - and is 1,070,000 km away from Jupiter. Also, this moon could potentially harbor an ocean beneath its crust. Callisto is 4,800 km in diameter and is 1,883,800 km away from Jupiter.
Why does europa have water?
The water in the ocean could possibly be kept warm by heat coming from inside Europa.
What made it possible to see Jupiter moons?
A telescope. In 1610, Italian scientist and inventor Galileo put a couple of curved pieces of glass together in a tube, and discovered he could see farther than the human eye allowed. When he observed Jupiter, he was delighted to discover that it had 4 moons, which are still called Jupiter's "Galilean" moons even today. They are, in order of increasing distance from Jupiter: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
