Is the moon Io covered with ice?
No, Io is covered in sulfur.
Why are numerous impact craters found on Ganymede and Callisto but not on Io or Europa?
IO is an active volcanic moon, and any craters are swamped with volcanic lava.Europa is an "ice" moon and any impact is swamped with melted water, which later refreezes.
Which jupiters moon covered with water ice?
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.
What are the 4 Galilean moons from largest to smallest?
Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto are the four satellites that orbit Jupiter.
Which is Jupiter's most popular moon?
The 3 most popular are, Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system, Io, with the most volcanic activity of all moons and Europa with its water and ice.
Why does Io have no H2O?
Any water ice that existed on Io was likely boiled off by frequent volcanic activity. Io's gravity was likely insufficient to hold onto the hot water vapor.

No. Io is completely devoid of water in any form.
Which of jupiters moons is called the ice moon?
