jupiters ice moon is Io
Other moons in the solar system are made of various materials such as rock, ice, and a mix of both. For example, Jupiter's moon Europa is mostly made of water ice while Saturn's moon Titan has a thick atmosphere and surface lakes of methane and ethane. Mercury and Venus do not have any moons.
Ganymede - looks just like MercuryCallisto - Possible sub surface ocean.Io - The most volcanically active body in the Solar SystemEuropa - Has a crust of frozen ice an the possibility of an ocean.
Yes, some of Jupiter's moons have water ice on their surface or subsurface, such as Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons are believed to have subsurface oceans beneath their icy crusts, making them intriguing targets in the search for potential extraterrestrial life.
Our Moon is the fifth largest moon in the Solar System.
Not specifically. The Moon's gravity does cause Earth's tides, and tides do affect the weather, but weather is more of a local phenomenon.
Jupiter's biggest moon is called Ganymede.
Jupiters moon is thought to contain microscopic ice crystals but this theory has not yet been proven
Typical of moons of the outer solar system nearly all of Jupiter's moons are covered in ice. Only Io, the innermost moon is not and that it because it is powerfully volcanic.
To differentiate from other frozen liquids like methane ice. The moons of the gas giants are mostly covered in methane ice.
No, the composition of moons can vary greatly depending on their formation and location in the solar system. Some moons are rocky like Earth's Moon, while others are icy like Europa. Moons can also have unique mixes of rock, metal, and ice materials.
Jupiter (or Saturn that depends on your definition of "moon" the rings of Saturn are composed of billions of chunks of rock and ice which each could be called a "moon" if you want to stretch the definition a lot...)
Callisto is a moon of the planet Jupiter. Its composition primarily consists of rock and ice, with water ice being the dominant material. Other elements present on Callisto include silicates, organics, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide.
some moons show evidence of ice or water that lie deep beneath the surface
Yes in large pockets of ice like all of saturns moons.

The smallest moons are probably smaller than 1 kilometer in diameter. Possibilities include tiny moons that orbit the gas giants and/or the ice giants due to the fact that they have many moons and are less explored.
