What other facts are about Jupiter?
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun also, you can fit 1,400 Earths in Jupiter. It's that big that the mass gives it nearly 2.5 times the gravity of Earth. Did you know that out of all the planets Jupiter has the most moons ,some of those moons has water ice and others ones has volcanic activity.
Why do some of Jupiter's moons look brighter than others?
They are different sizes and distances from us, and so they reflect different amounts of light.

Why are there moons around Jupiter?
The planet Jupiter has 4 large moons that were likely formed within a disk of debris near the planet. Others are thought to be wandering asteroids that were captured by the giant planet's gravity. As of 2011, there are a total of 67 known moons, some orbiting in the same direction as Jupiter spins (prograde) and some the opposite way (retrograde). Most of them are relatively small, with 3/4ths of them less than 5 km in diameter. Some are involved with the faint rings that surround Jupiter, which may be the broken pieces of other small moons.

When light comes from the sun does it shine straight on Jupiter and its moons or does it shine on Jupiter then from there the light reflects to Jupiter's moons?
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.

I was only telling you how many moons are there, some of their names, and sorry I didn`t include the rocks in the ring of Jupiter.
