Ganymede's semi-major axis is approximately 1,070,400 kilometers.
The average distance from Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, to the Sun is approximately 778 million kilometers (483 million miles). This distance can vary slightly due to Ganymede's elliptical orbit around Jupiter.
A planet's orbit is the length it travels around the Sun. Jupiter's orbit takes 12 years, which means one year on Jupiter would equal 12 Earth years.
It takes Ganymede approximately 7 days to complete one orbit around Jupiter.
Ganymede orbits Jupiter, as it is one of Jupiter's moons. It follows an elliptical path around Jupiter, completing an orbit roughly every seven days. Ganymede's orbit is influenced by the gravitational pull of Jupiter and the other moons in the Jovian system.
Yes, some comets have been observed to orbit Jupiter. These comets can either be captured by Jupiter's gravity and become temporary moons, or have their orbits altered by Jupiter's gravitational pull.
The average distance from Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, to the Sun is approximately 778 million kilometers (483 million miles). This distance can vary slightly due to Ganymede's elliptical orbit around Jupiter.
No, planets orbit around the sun. There are over 60 moons that orbit around Jupiter though.
Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons in orbit around it. No planets are in orbit around it, since they would then be classed as moons. The planets in orbit either side of Jupiter are Mars and Saturn.
Jupiter does not orbit the earth. It takes 11.86 years for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
The sun.
A planet's orbit is the length it travels around the Sun. Jupiter's orbit takes 12 years, which means one year on Jupiter would equal 12 Earth years.
It is said that Jupiter orbits clockwise
Pluto never crosses Jupiter's orbit because it is much further away than Jupiter and has a far large orbit. A major change in Pluto's orbit would have to occur for its orbit to cross Jupiter's. If it did, there would be a tiny chance of a collision, but the chance would be very small.
They orbit Jupiter.
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the gravitational pull of the planet. As of June 2014, Jupiter has 63 known moons.
It takes Ganymede approximately 7 days to complete one orbit around Jupiter.
