Io is a moon of Jupiter. It can have a period of revolution around Jupiter of 1.769 days or you can have Jupiters revolution around the Sun of 11.85920 days.
The revolution rate of Io is 42 hrs. 28 min.
The revolution rate of Io is 42 hrs. 28 min.
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.
Io is a moon of the planet Jupiter.
Io's rotational period, or the time it takes for the moon to complete one full rotation on its axis, is approximately 42.5 hours. This means that a day on Io lasts around 42.5 Earth hours.
The period of rotation for Io is approximately 1.77 Earth days. Io is tidally locked with Jupiter, meaning it takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit Jupiter.
The cast of After the Revolution - 1990 includes: Io Tillett Wright
Interesting question. What makes a day on Io ? Is it having the sun in the sky, or having Jupiter in the sky ? And would that choice make a difference in the best answer ? I'll take the easy way out: Io's rotation on its axis is in sync with its period of revolution around Jupiter. Both are = 1.769 earth days = approx. 42hours 27.5minutes
the period of revolution is related to the semimajor axis.... :)
