The orbital resonances cause Io to have an elliptical orbit which leads to tidal heating. Tidal heating makes Io the most volcanic object in our solar system.

Which one is most important in explaining the tremendous tidal heating that occurs on Io?
Io orbits Jupiter on an elliptical orbit, due to orbital resonances with other satellites.
What is the orbital period of revolution Io Galilean moon?
around the sun
What is the orbital period of revolution of Io?
I'm pretty sure its 1.7 earth days
How do planets change orbital speed change?
Planets with elliptical orbits are affected by the difference in the strength of the Sun's gravity as they move closer to, or farther away from, the Sun. The only other major effect on planets are the gravity of other planets, notably Jupiter and Neptune. Except for Mars, Ceres, Pluto, and trans-Neptunian planets, the effect is extremely small -- it has resulted in stable orbital resonances between several small outer planets and the planet Neptune.
Where in the solar system are most active volcanoes found?
Jupiter's moon io. caused by gravitational heating due to orbital path.

Penetrating effect of atomic orbitals?
An s orbital is closer to the nucleus than a p orbital, so it shields outer electrons more than a p orbital does. Therefore, it's penetration effect is greater than the p orbital's. The penetration effect is the tendency of orbitals closer to the nucleus shielding outer electrons.
What Galilean Moon has the fastest revolution?
Io, the closest of the Galilean Moons has the fastest revolution with an orbital period on only 42.5 hours.
How does earth's varying orbital speed affect it's rotation?
The earth's orbital speed has no influence or effect on its rotation.
What would be the effect on the orbital velocity of satellite if mass of satellite is double?
Its mass won't affect the orbital velocity.
What effect has distance of a planet to the sun to its orbital period?
you are chicken
What is penetration effect?
Electron in s-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in p-orbital and electron in p-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in d-orbital and so on. So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"
