both Volcanoes , according to NASA and other sources, tell us that the volcanoes are quite different from earth due to the gravitational pull of Jupiter and that the elements being given off by these volcanoes are not lava but rather sulpur and Ice cold jets called "volcanic ice"

In essence and to simply answer the question: NO, they are quite different...

In what way is IO similar to earth?

Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is similar to Earth in that it is geologically active, featuring numerous volcanoes and a dynamic surface. Both bodies have a diverse range of geological processes, although Io's volcanic activity is driven by tidal heating due to its gravitational interactions with Jupiter and other Galilean moons, unlike Earth's tectonic processes. Additionally, Io has a thin atmosphere, albeit much less substantial than Earth's, primarily composed of sulfur dioxide.


Which planets have volcanoes on the surface?

Venus, Earth, and Mars are all known to have volcanoes. Volcanoes have also been seen on Io, one the the moons of Jupiter.


Do other planets have volcanoes?

Yes, several planets in our solar system have volcanoes. For example, Venus has many active volcanoes, Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system called Olympus Mons, and Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is the most volcanically active body in our solar system.


Do Venus have the most volcanoes?

In our solar system three planets (including Earth) and one moon have volcanoes. Planets outside our solar system are too far away to observe, but one similar to Earth probably have volcanoes too.


Where else in the solar system are active volcanoes known exist?

Io, Jupiter's moon has active volcanoes of lava from magma caused due to tidal forces from Jupiter and large moons like Ganymede and Callisto. Triton, a moon of Neptune, and Enceladus, a moon of Saturn both are active with Cryrovolcanoes. These are volcanoes that give off water vapor, methane, ethane, ammonia, etc.

Which planents have volcaoes?

Earth, Venus, Mars, Io (moon of Jupiter), and Triton (moon of Neptune) are known to have volcanoes. Volcanic activity on these planets and moons can vary in type and intensity.


Are there volcanoes in the solar system other than on earth?

Does Jupiter have a moon with active volcanoes?

You might be thinking of one of Jupiter's moons, Io, which is the most volcanically active body in our solar system. Jupiter is a gas planet, which probably has a rocky core at the center, but we do not know much about it. There is evidence of volcanism on Earth's Moon, Venus, and Mars. There might be volcanism on Saturn's moons Enceladus and Titan, Neptune's moon Triton, and Jupiter's moon Europa. I have not read anything indicating there is volcanism on Jupiter.


Does volcanoes only exist on earth?

No, they exist on the planets Venus and Mars as well as Io, a moon of Jupiter.


Where can volcanoes be found in the solar system?

Earth and then the moon have volcanoes There are volcanoes on Venus and Mercury There are huge volcanoes on Mars And some of the moons of the outer planets i.e. Jupiter's Io has suffer volcanoes Triton, a moon of the planet Neptune has volcanoes that are believed to eject liquid nitrogen, dust, or methane compounds. Reports from NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission suggest that Saturn's moon Titan may have volcanoes that eject water. Also Saturn moon Enceladus hosts cryo-geysers around its southern pole.


What is Jupiter's moon Io covered with active?

Volcanoes.


Are volcanoes found on any other planet besides Earth?

Yes. There are volcanoes on Venus and Mars as well as Jupiter's moon Io. None of the volcanoes on Venus and Mars are known to be active, though.

Is Earth the only body in the Solar System with active volcanoes?

No, Earth isn't the only body in the Solar System with active volcanoes. Io, the third largest moon of Jupiter has active volcanoes with evidence. Venus, Mars and Pluto are also thought to have volcanoes based on their behaviour.


Which moon has active volcanoes?

Io


Do other planets have volcanoes?
