There are about 63 known moons of Jupiter but the Galilean moons are the 4 moons visible and Ganymede ,the largest found by Galileo Galilee in January 7 1610.

The orbital speed of the Jovian moons vary where the Jupiter's magnetic field is very strong.Only a mean speed can be used for comparison.

The four moons and their orbital speed compared to the orbital speed of Earth's moon are:

Jovian Moons Orbital speed/ Orbital speed Ratio

(km/s) (Earth's moon)

1. Io orbital speed 2.75 km/s

Earth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 2.67

2.Europa orbital speed 2.187 km/s

Earth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio !: 2.12

3. Callisto orbital speed 1.732 km/s

Earth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.68

4.Ganymede orbital speed 1.305 km/s

Earth moon's orbital speed. 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.27

What is the size and density of the 5th planet from the sun?

Jupiters density is around 1.33 g/cc on average, less dense than Earth and the other inner planets, but much more massive overall. Diameter of Jupiter (at the equator) is around 88,847 miles (compared to 7926 miles for the earth). Jupiters circumference at the equator is around 449,202 miles (compared with 40,075 miles for the earth). Jupiters volume is 1321 times that of Earths.

Which planet has an orbital eccentricity most like the orbital eccentricity of the earth?

The Earths orbit is fairly un-eccentric when compared to the other planets, with only Neptune and Venus having more regular (less eccentric) orbits. The eccentricity of earths orbit is 0.0167, the closest to this is Neptune's, with a value of 0.00859


How many jupiters will make a sun?

Approximately 1,300 Earths could fit inside Jupiter, while about 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the Sun. Therefore, it would take roughly around 1,000 Jupiters to have the same volume as the Sun.

How many earths would it take to equal the diameter of earth?

Jupiter's diameter = 11.21 x Earths (142,984km). That does not sound much, but we are just talking about one dimension here. If the volumes are compared, the size difference in the one dimension is cubed, giving Jupiters volume around 1400 times the volume of earth (actually nearer to 1320 time Earths volume due to Jupiter being a `squashed sphere`).


How many jupitors fit into the sun?

The Sun volume is about 1,418,364,847.22 billion cubic km, Jupiter is 1,530,600.9 billion cubic km = 926 Jupiters.

How many earths would fit in jupiters red spot?

Approximately 3 Earths could fit inside Jupiter's Great Red Spot, which is a giant storm that has been raging for centuries on the planet. The storm is large enough to fit several Earth-sized planets within it.
