They orbit Jupiter so would share that planets position in relation to the Sun.
It is the 6th planet from the sun, and the 2nd biggest planet.
and Jupiter. There are lots of small bodies in direct orbit around the sun called the asteroids (the asteroid belt).
The short answer is: sunrise or moonrise. Rising times vary based on your location on Earth. Our moon, furthermore, displays different "phases" depending on it's position relative to us and the sun.
In terms of their orbits for Saturn, Jupiter is the next nearest planet to the Sun, and Uranus is the next furthest from the Sun.
Whilst the planet seen in the sky bears a striking resemblance, it is unlikely to be Jupiter for the following reasons: 1) The moon on which the soldiers (etc) are stranded appears to have Earth level gravity so it would have be pretty large. It doesn't necessarily have to be as big as Earth itself but it would probably be bigger than any of the other moons around Jupiter - so if such a moon did exist, we would have discovered it, as we have discovered the others using telescopes and space probes. 2) The planet has a tropical climate which suggests it is close to it's parent star (within the "Goldilocks zone"). Jupiter is the 5th furthest planet from the Sun and so any moons around it will be frozen. Also the sun in the movie is (so far as I can tell - the characters don't comment on it) full sized. Whereas the Sun, as it would appear from Jupiter would be very small in the sky. These are the biggest two clues that it is not Jupiter, but merely a planet that resembles it. Now it is possible that the Predator aliens have "cloaked" the planet and are heating it by artificial means... but I think this unlikely. Maybe the sequel will tell us, if there ever is one.
A good bit of "luck", and the fact that Pluto is so far from the Sun; the Sun's gravity interferes very little with the weak gravity of tiny Pluto, and its even smaller moons.
Im not sure which moon of Jupiter your are talking about, because Jupiter has 63 moons. But the moons are about 22572172.8 miles from the sun.
It depends on the relative position of the planets at the time the question is asked. Since the planets are constantly revolving around the sun at different speeds their relative position is constantly changing. That means that if you're on Mars and you want to go to Jupiter, chances are that Jupiter is on the other side of its orbit around the Sun and you'll have to wait for Jupiter to "come by" to travel to it.
Jupiter and its moons get light from the same source we do: the sun.
Jupiter has 63 moons and it is the biggest planet not including the sun
No, planets orbit around the sun. There are over 60 moons that orbit around Jupiter though.
If you compare surface gravity, yes the sun's gravity is stronger than that of Jupiter. But gravity decreases in strength as you get farther from the object. Jupiter's moons are close enough to Jupiter and far enough from the sun that Jupiter's gravity has more influence.
It shines directly on both Jupiter and its moons. There is no reason it shouldn't, as, other than periodic eclipses from Jupiter, nothing blocks the sunlight from reaching those moons. The moons do get some reflected light from Jupiter as well, just as Earth gets some light from our moon.
It takes 11.86 Earth years for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
Solar refers to a sun. Jupiter is not a sun. It is a planet, surrounded by moons.
The planet Jupiter orbits the same sun that the Earth orbits; it is part of our solar system. It has the greatest number of moons of any planet in the solar system, including four (the Galilean moons) which are quite large.
Both of these are moons of Jupiter. Because they orbit Jupiter both have the same distance from the Sun more or less.
5th from the sun.
