io is the brightest from jupiters surface

Which are the four biggest satellites of Jupiter?
Jupiter has 63 satellites/moons. But it has 4 large one known as: 1. Ganymede (largest in the Solar System) 2. Io (most geologically active body in the Solar System) 3. Europa (has ice and rocks on its surface) 4. Callisto (contains many craters)
What is the temperature of Jupiter's moon?
Ganymede and Io have an average surface temperature of 110º K (-163.15º C), Europa's is 103 K (-171.15º C), and Callisto's is is 134º K (-139.15º C). We know little about the temperature of the ocean's beneath the ice on Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto, however we can guess that there is some kind of heat generated from tidal heating.
Why is Ganymede Jupiter's brightest moon?
Because it has the highest albedo, or it's ability to diffuse light from it's surface, combined with the fact that it is the largest moon of Jupiter.
Does Ganymede have ice caps?
No. The entire surface of Ganymede is ice.
What are the features of Callisto?
Callisto is heavily cratered and has a water ice surface
