Jupiters 4 moons are called Ganymede,Io,Callisto,and Europa.
Galileo discovered them. Their names are: Io, Callista, Europa and Ganymede. He discovered them in January 1610. == ==Galileo Galilei in 1610.
No planet has 4 moons. (planets as far as in our solar system)
The four largest moons of Jupiter are called the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and are some of the largest objects in the solar system, with Ganymede being the largest moon in the entire solar system.
Europa is one of Jupiter's moons. Actally theres Europa, Callisto, Ganymade, and Io. :] Ganymede, Io, Europa and Callisto Jupiter has 67 moons, of which four are major. Those moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
Jupiter's largest four moons, called the Galilean satellites because Galileo was the first person to see them, are Europa, Io, Callisto and Ganymede.
io, ganymede, europa, and callisto.
He could only make out four of Jupiters' largest moons.
Of the 67 moons orbiting Jupiter, the 4 largest, smallest to largest, are Europa, Io, Callisto, Ganymede. The 4 in closest orbit to Jupiter are Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, and Thebe. These are referred to as the Amalthean moons.The 4 largest Jovian moons (Jupiter is "Jove" in Greek) are some of the largest bodies in the Solar system, after the Sun and planets. Genymede is larger than the planet Mercury.These 4 large Jovian moons would be planetesimals if they orbited the Sun. The moons smaller than these 4 are quite a bit smaller . . . many of which just have "J" (for Jupiter) numbers instead of names.
Galileo was the first to observe the 4 largest moons of Jupiter (which are still known as the Galilean moons, in his honor).
Galileo discovered Jupiter's 4 largest moons, the Galilean moons. The largest moon's name is Ganymede.
Yes. That is why they are called the Galilean Moons
Jupiters 4 moons are called Ganymede,Io,Callisto,and Europa.
The largest of Neptune's moons, 'Triton' is larger than the planetesimal, Pluto. The much, much smaller moon, Proteus, is next in size. Larissa is a little smaller than Proteus, and Galatea is a little smaller than Larissa.
