Does the planet Jupiter have any moons orbiting it and if so how many and describe them?

Jupiter has 63 discovered moons. most of them tiny asteroids a few kilometers in diameter. there are however only 4 large and interesting moons orbiting Jupiter, these are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. also known as the Galileo satellites. the closest one, Io is full of volcanic activity caused by the extreme tidal with Jupiter. the rest of the moons are fairly rich in Hydrogen and oxygen and therefor also water. it is believed on Europa alone it is more liquid water under its icy surface then there is here on the entire Earth.The moons of Jupiter have the four largest moons they are ganymede, Io, europa, and calisto. about 60 more moons have been found over the centeries
