Mars is potentially the closest planet at a minimum distance of 3.68 AU. That varies. Mars would typically be the closest planet, but earth would be closest when earth and Jupiter are on the same side of the sun and Mars is on the opposite side.
At 10 AU, Saturn would almost always be further from Jupiter than Mercury or Venus. When Mars and Jupiter are on opposite sides of the sun, the distance between them is eight AU, whereas the distance between Jupiter and Saturn when they are lined up on the same side of the sun is 5 AU. That means when even earth (1 AU) is on the opposite side from Jupiter and Saturn (Jupiter and Saturn are in daylight), Saturn would be slightly closer.
Most of the time, however, Mars would be the closest planet to Jupiter.
The moons of Jupiter are (in order by their distance from Jupiter):
Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, Io, Europa, Ganymede (the biggest), Callisto (the second biggest), Leda (the smallest), Himalia, Lysithea, Elara, Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae, Sinope, and many newly-discovered moons that haven't been named yet.
The planet closest to Jupiter can be either Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, or Saturn. It depends on the current positions of these planets and Jupiter in their orbits around the Sun. Sometimes the Sun might even be closer to Jupiter than any of these five planets; this happens when all the five planets are beyond the Sun seen from Jupiter.
Mars will be the closest planet to Jupiter when the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter are in a line and Mars and Jupiter are both on the same side of the Sun. That is because the orbit ofJupiter is closest to the orbit of Mars.
At the web site Solar System Live (see link below) you can get an idea of which planet is closest to Jupiter right now. At the time this is written, it seems that Venus is currently the closest planet to Jupiter.
The moon closest to Jupiter is "Metis". Of the 4 Galileian moons, "Io" (EYE-O) is the closest.
Jupiter has 67 confirmed moons, more than any planet in the solar system. Metis is the closest moon to Jupiter, orbiting 79,500 miles from the planet.
The closest Jovian planet to the sun is Jupiter.
Because it is the closest to Jupiter and also its high volcanic rate adds to this.
The moon Io looks the brightest from the surface of Jupiter. That's because Io is the closest moon to the planet. Io is the moon on the left of the planet.
Obviously, every planet. Every planet has its own moon. If you are talking about the moon we see at night, that moon is the moon orbiting Earth. So Earth is the closest to Earth's moon, Jupiter is closest to Jupiter's moon, and so forth.
Jupiter is to the right of the moon. It was closest a on September 1st, then is was just to the left of the moon. Since then, the moon has passed Jupiter and the distance (seen by an observer) between them has been increasing.
Io would be because i t is closest
The continental moon of the planet Jupiter is Europa. This moon is the 6th largest moon in the solar system and the closest moon to the planet.
because it is the closest to jupiter
Jupiter's closest moon which is Io is 421700 kilometers away from it
Because it is the closest to Jupiter and also its high volcanic rate adds to this.
No Europa is the six closest moon on jupiter. there is not life on it.
The moon Io looks the brightest from the surface of Jupiter. That's because Io is the closest moon to the planet. Io is the moon on the left of the planet.
Obviously, every planet. Every planet has its own moon. If you are talking about the moon we see at night, that moon is the moon orbiting Earth. So Earth is the closest to Earth's moon, Jupiter is closest to Jupiter's moon, and so forth.
Jupiter is to the right of the moon. It was closest a on September 1st, then is was just to the left of the moon. Since then, the moon has passed Jupiter and the distance (seen by an observer) between them has been increasing.
It is about 8000 miles away froom Jupiter
Io would be because i t is closest
The moon called Europa is most likely to have liquid water underneath it's icy crust. Europa is the 6th closest moon to the planet of Jupiter.
As of 12/2/08, Venus and Jupiter are closest
