How is Earth's moon different then moons of other planets?
Earth's moon is very large in proportion to its planet. It is just over one quarter of Earth's diameter. While several moons in the solar system are larger than our moon, they orbit much larger planets.
How are the moons of Jupiter similar to Earth?
At approximately 421,700 km (262,000 miles), the orbit radius of Io is slightly larger than that of the Moon. However, the distance between the surface of Io and the upper clouds of Jupiter is less than between the surfaces of Earth and the Moon, because of the much larger planetary radius of Jupiter.
How many moons are in the planet Jupiters?
Jupiter has four moons that orbit it. the names of these moons are IO (eye-oh) Callisto, Europa and Ganymede.Time taken for the moons to orbit Jupiter:IO- 1.7 Earth yearsCallisto- 16.7 Earth yearsEuropa- 3.5 Earth yearsGanymede- 7.1 Earth years
What is the farthest point from earth in the moons orbit?
apogee
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.

yes
Why do you have new moons?
its part of the roation and orbit of the earth. its an eclipse.
