At approximately 421,700 km (262,000 miles), the orbit radius of Io is slightly larger than that of the Moon. However, the distance between the surface of Io and the upper clouds of Jupiter is less than between the surfaces of Earth and the Moon, because of the much larger planetary radius of Jupiter.
What else can I help you with?

No, Jupiter's moons do not have phases like Earth's moon. Phases are caused by the changing positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, but Jupiter's moons have no light of their own and do not reflect sunlight in the same way.

How many moons is Jupiter away from Callisto?
Callisto is the 2nd largest and 8th closest of Jupiter's known moons, with an orbit about 1.8 million km from Jupiter. It was discovered by Galileo in 1610 and is the most distant from Jupiter of the 4 large Galilean moons. Jupiter's large moons orbit rapidly compared to Earth's Moon. Callisto circles Jupiter every 16.7 Earth days.
