Yes, Ganyemede is a satellite of Jupiter.
Jupiter, with the moon Ganymede that has a radius of 2,634.1 kilometers.
Ganymede's year is the same as Jupiter's, since it is a satellite of that planet. However, it orbit's Jupiter every 7 days, 3 hours, and 42 minutes, and 33.2 seconds.
Ganymede, a satellite [of Jupiter] is the largest moon in the solar system. It is actually bigger than Mercury.See related link for more information.
Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons, holds the title for the largest satellite relative to the size of its planet. It's even larger than the planet Mercury!
Ganymede is a natural satellite of Jupiter and the largest natural satellite in the Solar System. Completing an orbit in roughly seven days, it is the seventh satellite and third Galilean satellite from Jupiter. Ganymede participates in a 1:2:4 orbital resonance with the satellites Europa and Io, respectively. It is larger in diameter than the planet Mercury but has only about half its mass. Ganymede is composed primarily of silicate rock and water ice. It is a fully differentiated body with an iron-rich, liquid core. A saltwater ocean is believed to exist nearly 200 km below Ganymede's surface, sandwiched between layers of ice. Its surface comprises two main types of terrain. Dark regions, saturated with impact craters and dated to four billion years ago, cover about a third of the satellite. Lighter regions, crosscut by extensive grooves and ridges and only slightly less ancient, cover the remainder. The cause of the light terrain's disrupted geology is not fully known, but was likely the result of tectonic activity brought about by tidal heating. Ganymede is the only satellite in the Solar System known to possess a magnetosphere, likely created through convection within the liquid iron core. The meager magnetosphere is buried within Jupiter's much larger magnetic field and connected to it through open field lines. The satellite has a thin oxygen atmosphere that includes O, O2, and possibly O3 (ozone). Atomic hydrogen is a minor atmospheric constituent. Whether the satellite has an ionosphere to correspond to its atmosphere is unresolved. Ganymede's discovery is credited to Galileo Galilei, who observed it in 1610. The satellite's name was soon suggested by astronomer Simon Marius, for the mythological Ganymede, cupbearer of the Greek gods and Zeus's beloved. Beginning with Pioneer 10, spacecraft have been able to examine Ganymede closely. The Voyager probes refined measurements of its size, while the Galileo craft discovered its underground ocean and magnetic field. A new mission to Jupiter's icy moons, the Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM) is proposed for a launch in 2020.

Ganymede is the largest moon/satellite in our solar system, in orbit around the planet Jupiter.Ganymede, a moon if Jupiter, is the largest satellite in the solar system.
The largest moon in the Solar System is Ganymede, which is slightly larger (by volume) than the planet Mercury (Mercury is much denser, though, having about twice the mass of Ganymede). Ganymede is a satellite of Jupiter.
Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, is the largest natural satellite in our Solar System.
Ganymede is the largest satellite in out solar system.
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.
there is no moon which is larger than Ganymede in our Solar System. Ganymede is the largest natural satellite (moon) in our Solar System so far to be discovered.
Ganymede is a satellite of Jupiter. Jupiter takes 11.85 years to orbit the sun.
