Finally, a question that makes sense. It is often said that europa has water under its surface. This could create life that would be adapted to cold and high radiation. Also, under the surface where there would be no light, life could thrive on hot water jets, or so called, 'Black Smokers.' (not trying to make racial reference!)
What else can I help you with?
How many miles is the earth to Europa?
Europa is a moon of Jupiter, so the distance will vary. However the approximate distance to Jupiter, from Earth is 365 million miles
What is the atmosphere like on Jupiter's moon europa?
Europa's atmosphere is very thin and some say it is too small to have an atmosphere, but that's not true. Europa is only slightly smaller than the moon. The atmosphere on Europa has oxygen in it so scientists are trying to discover if there could be life on Europa some day.
What is so special about a Full moon?
A full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun, making it fully illuminated. It is often associated with folklore, myths, and rituals in many cultures. Some people believe that the energy during a full moon can influence human behavior and emotions.
How large does Jupiter look from the surface of Europa?
The apparent size of a celestial body in the sky can be solved using simple trigonometry. Theta is the number of arc degrees in the sky that the body occupies and Radius of the body/distance to the body = Tangent(Theta/2) Since Jupiter is ~140,000 km at its equator and Europa orbits ~670,000 km from Jupiter 143,000/670,000=0.2134=Tangent(Theta/2) Theta = 11.9° For comparison, the full moon is ~0.5°, so Jupiter would appear nearly 24 times larger than the moon!
What is the significance of the moon of Jupiter in relation to its potential for hosting extraterrestrial life?
The moon of Jupiter, Europa, is significant for its potential to host extraterrestrial life because it has a subsurface ocean that could potentially support microbial life. The presence of liquid water and geological activity on Europa make it a promising candidate for finding life beyond Earth.
Does Jupiter moon have water?
OK well Jupiter moon Europa dose have water and it always will be unless something goes wrong with the moon so you just know
Which planet has a moon called Europa?
Jupiter is the planet with the moon Europa
How many satlelites does the moon Europa have?
a sattelite is a moon so therefore Europa doesnt have any moons because it is a moon.
Why was the Galileo spacecraft destroyed?
It was sent into Jupiters atmosphere due to the possibility of an ocean beneath the icy crust of jupiters moon europa. Galileo could potentially be carrying bacteria that could be harmful to europa, so was destroyed to protect it.
Were astronauts on europa moon?
No. Astronauts have visited Earth's Moon. The next place to visit will be Mars. Europa is a moon of Jupiter, so it is MUCH farther away.
Does jupiters moon europa have water?
Yes, Europa is believed to have a subsurface ocean beneath its icy surface, making it a strong candidate for hosting water. Evidence such as surface features and magnetic field data support the presence of liquid water beneath the ice.
What could Jupiter's moons be used for?
we can't use jupiters moons for anything because fistly we can not get out that far to reach Jupiters moon and if we could it would take thousands of years and Jupiters Moons would be to big to do anything with anyway. so the answer to What could Jupiter's moons be used for? is....Nothing.
How many miles is the earth to Europa?
Europa is a moon of Jupiter, so the distance will vary. However the approximate distance to Jupiter, from Earth is 365 million miles
Which planet has a moon named Europa and named after Galileo?
Jupiter has the Galilean moons. So called because they were the first moons of Jupiter, discovered by Galileo using the new telescope.
What is the atmosphere like on Jupiter's moon europa?
Europa's atmosphere is very thin and some say it is too small to have an atmosphere, but that's not true. Europa is only slightly smaller than the moon. The atmosphere on Europa has oxygen in it so scientists are trying to discover if there could be life on Europa some day.
How strong is the gravity on europa?
Europa's Gravity is 1.314 m/s2 or (0.134 of earths gravity)
What is jupiters mytholological origion?
So of Saturn and Opis.
