What are Jupiters moons made of?

Answer 1

You may think Saturn is the only planet with rings. It is not! Jupiter has rings, too. They aren't as easy to see as Saturn's, but they ARE there.

Saturns rings are made of ice and are very bright. Jupiter's rings are dark. They are made of tiny pieces of dust.

Jupiter's rings were discovered by the Voyager Spacecraft in 1979. The Galileo spacecraft helped us figure out how Jupiter's rings are made. Meteors that hit some of Jupiter's moons knock dust into orbit around Jupiter. That dust forms the rings.

Jupiter has three rings. They are called the Halo Ring, the Main Ring, and the Gossamer Ring.

Answer 2

Jupiter's moons are made of a variety of materials depending on the moon. Some are composed mostly of rock and metal, while others have water ice on their surface. Jupiter's largest moons, like Ganymede and Callisto, have rocky cores with icy crusts. Europa is believed to have a subsurface ocean beneath an icy crust.

Answer 3

Rings occur when a large object gets too close to the planet and gets broken into pieces.

Rings are made of tiny particles, gravel to boulder size.

Jupiter has four faint rings discovered by Voyager photos, made of gas and dust.

Saturn's Rings are huge, formed almost entirely of Golf ball to house-sized ice chunks. Cassade's Divide, a gap in the rings, is visible in even a six-inch telescope. That gap is swept clear because it is at a distance with half the orbital period of the nearest large moon, Mimas. whats is Saturn rings made of?

Answer 4

Jupiter's ring system is faint and consists mainly of dust.

The size of the dust in the rings varies, but the cross sectional area is greatest for non spherical particles of radius about 15 μm in all rings.

Answer 5

Jupiter's 4 rings are made of dust

Answer 6

Planetary rings are mainly made from dust, ice, many smaller rocks and some larger rocks.

Answer 7

Jupiter's rings are made of fine dust particles which are the debris of meteoroids that have crashed into the planets moons.

Answer 8

They are believed to be made of dust particles.

Answer 9

They are made out of asteroids

Answer 10
