Do the densities of the Galilean moons increase with distance from Jupiter just as the densities of the planets increase with distance from the Sun?
To answer the question very literally: Yes. The Galilean satellites follow the same pattern of density versus increasing distance from Jupiter that the planets' density follows versus distance from the sun. The specific pattern is: No pattern at all. Earth ... 3rd from the sun ... is the most dense planet, while Saturn ... 6th planet from the sun ... is the least dense. So there is no "just as" to compare to.
What planet has at least 58 moons?
Jupiter has at least 79 confirmed moons, making it the planet with the most moons in our solar system. The four largest moons of Jupiter are known as the Galilean moons and are named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
Which planet has four galilean moons?
Jupiter is the planet that has four Galilean moons. These moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610.
Jupiter has approximately how many moons?
Jupiter has 53 named moons and at least 26 more awaiting official naming, bringing the total to 79 known moons.
Where are the Galilean moons located?
The Galilean moons are located around the planet Jupiter. They were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and are named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons are the largest of Jupiter's many moons and are known for their distinctive features, such as volcanic activity on Io and the possibility of liquid water on Europa.
Why are the galilean moons named the galilean moons?
Because they were discovered first by Galileo.
Where are all the galilean moons in the solar system?
The Galilean moons orbit Jupiter.
Who found the Galilean moons?
The Galilean moons were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610.
Is Deimos a Galilean moon?
No. It is a moon of Mars. The Galilean moons are moons of Jupiter.
Are there five galilean moons?
No. There are four Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
Why are the Galilean moons named Galilean?
They were discovered by Galileo.

Where exactly is galilean moons located?
The Galilean moons are the four largest moons of Jupiter, so called because they were discovered by Galileo Galilei.
What is the smallest of the galilean moons?
The smallest of the Galilean moons is Amalthea, which is one of Jupiter's moons. It is irregularly shaped and has a reddish color due to its surface composition.
How does the density of the Galilean moons vary with increasing distance from Jupiter?
From what I have read, the closer one of the Galilean Moons is to Jupiter, the hotter is their interior (as a result of tidal heating due to Jupiter's gravity). The outer ones have more of an ice core. The inner ones less. When it melts, the water makes it way to the surface being less dense than the surrounding rock, and evaporates off, leaving the heavier rock forming most of the crust. Therefore the more dense the inner Galilean Moons.
Jupiter's four largest moons are known as its moons?
Galilean
How many planets have Galilean moons?
The Galilean moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, all of which orbit Jupiter. The term "Galilean" does not denote anything special about the moons other than that they were discovered by the astronomer Galileo Galilei.
