What satellite is Jupiter?
Jupiter is not a satellite, it is a planet.
What is a Galilean satellite?
A Galilean satellite is one of the four largest moons of Jupiter discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. These moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They are also known as the Galilean moons and are some of the largest and most geologically diverse moons in our solar system.
What is the innermost of the Galilean moons?
Io
Which galilean satellite has active volcanos?
Io is the innermost of the four large moons (Galilean moons) of Jupiter. Its closeness to Jupiter means that its surface is in a constant state of flex, the gravity from Jupiter distorts its surface, generating heat and flaws in the surface of the moon. This means that volcanoes are a common occurrence on Io.
Are there five galilean moons?
No. There are four Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
What is the order of io to Jupiter?
IO is the fifth moon of Jupiter in terms of distance from Jupitert and the primary of the Galilean moons.
What is the order of brightness for the Galilean moons?
The order of brightness for the Galilean moons of Jupiter from brightest to dimmest is Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is the brightest due to its active volcanism, while Callisto is the dimmest of the four.
What is the name of the innermost moon of Jupiter?
The innermost Galilean moon is Io. It's a veritable volcano in space, being stressed by Jupiter's tidal forces.Comment : I think the innermost moon (not just of the Galilean moons) is Metis.
Io which has more than 400 active volcanoes is the satellite of?
Io is a satellite of Jupiter.
What is the orbital period of revolution Io Galilean moon?
around the sun
Where does Io get its heat from?
Io's heat is generated by tidal forces produced by the gravity of Jupiter and the other three Galilean moons.
What Galilean Moon has the fastest revolution?
Io is the Galilean Moon that has the fastest revolution around Jupiter, completing one orbit in about 1.8 Earth days. Due to its close proximity to Jupiter, Io experiences strong tidal forces which contribute to its rapid orbit.
