Ganymede is composed of approximately equal amounts of silicate rock and water ice. It is a fully differentiated body with an iron-rich, liquid core. A saltwater ocean is believed to exist nearly 200 km below Ganymede's surface, sandwiched between layers of ice.Its surface is composed of two main types of terrain. Dark regions, saturated with impact craters and dated to four billion years ago, cover about a third of the satellite. Lighter regions, crosscut by extensive grooves and ridges and only slightly less ancient, cover the remainder. The cause of the light terrain's disrupted geology is not fully known, but was likely the result of tectonic activity brought about by tidal heating.
Ganymede is the only satellite in the Solar System known to possess a magnetosphere, likely created through convection within the liquid iron core. The meager magnetosphere is buried within Jupiter's much larger magnetic field and connected to it through open field lines. The satellite has a thin oxygen atmosphere that includes O, O2, and possibly O3 (ozone). Atomic hydrogen is a minor atmospheric constituent. Whether the satellite has an ionosphere associated with its atmosphere is unresolved.
Whoever made the question you mean DIAMETER. It is 3,270 miles in diameter
Ganymede is largerthan Mercury, but has a smaller mass.
No. The entire surface of Ganymede is ice.
No, Ganymede is larger than Mercury. Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and is even larger than the planet Mercury.
Ganymede's atmosphere is primarily composed of oxygen (O2) and traces of carbon dioxide (CO2). It is very thin and tenuous, with a surface pressure that is virtually negligible compared to Earth's atmosphere.
Well, the definition of Ganymede is cup bearer to the gods. Zeus kidnapped a Trojan boy because he was beautiful and made him cup bearer. Ganymede is a way of saying your beautiful to another in a homosexual way.

The Trojan boy of Great Beauty was Ganymede. Zeus kidnapped him and made him the cup-bearer of the gods. Ganymede is now one of the seven moons of Jupiter.
Ganymede's surface is mainly made up of water ice mixed with rocky materials. It also contains areas covered with dust, which may appear similar to dirt or gravel. Overall, the surface of Ganymede is a complex mixture of ice, rock, and dust.
No. Ganymede has a very tenuous atmosphere.
Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter.
Ganymede is bigger than Mercury.
Ganymede was not a god, he was rather a hero in mythology.
The Ganymede Takeover was created in 1967.
The Goddess of Ganymede was created in 1967.
