They are practically airless with frozen and cratered surfaces, although Europa is thought to have an underground ocean warmed by tidal friction with Jupiter. Ganymede, Callisto, and Io, the other three large moons, are rocky bodies. Io is covered in sulfur dioxide 'frost' and has numerous sulfur 'volcanoes' whose eruptions cover the surface and give the moon a yellow hue.
The other 63 known moons are much smaller, only 4 larger than 60 kilometers in any dimension. The largest of these four, Almathea, is reddish and oblong, about 250 by 150 kilometers. Amalthea is the third-closest moon to Jupiter, and circles the planet about every 12 hours. The sky view on the side facing Jupiter would be nearly half-filled by the giant planet, with a complete set of phases twice a day.
