How do the periods of rotation of Io Europa Ganymede compare?

Io, Europa, and Ganymede, the three largest moons of Jupiter, have synchronized rotation periods due to a phenomenon known as orbital resonance. Io takes about 1.8 days to complete one rotation, while Europa and Ganymede have rotation periods of about 3.5 days and 7.2 days, respectively. Despite their differing rotation periods, they are locked in a 1:2:4 resonance, meaning that for every one orbit Io makes, Europa completes half an orbit, and Ganymede completes a quarter. This gravitational interaction keeps their rotation periods closely linked.

How long does it take Jupiters moon Ganymede to make a full rotation?

It take 7 days to orbit and rotate. This moon has oxygen but it is not enough for living organisms. Of course there is no food, but there is under ground water. Even though there is water it is hard to live without food. There is also gravity and hails. The weather is cold. The nearest planet is Jupiter.

How long is a day and a year on Ganymede?
