One of Jupiter's moons is as big as the planet mercury if the moon is so big why is it a moon and not a planet?
Jupiter's moon Ganymede is as big as Mercury but is classified as a moon because it orbits Jupiter rather than orbiting the sun directly. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit the sun directly, while moons orbit planets. Ganymede's orbit around Jupiter classifies it as a moon rather than a planet.
How long does it take Ganymede to travel around the sun?
Ganymede, the moon of Jupiter, is in orbit around Jupiter so its transit around the Sun would be the same as Jupiter's, about 11.8 Earth years. 1036 Ganymede, the asteroid, has an orbital period of about 4.34 Earth years.
How far away is Ganymede from Europa?
Answer is an estimate using mean orbital radius Europa 670,900km Ganymede 1,070,400km So their closest estimated point would 399,500km (not calculating Europa's furthest distance to Jupiter with Ganymede's closest when they're in astronomical alignment)
