The brightest Galilean moon of Jupiter is Europa. Known for its smooth ice-covered surface, Europa reflects a significant amount of sunlight, making it appear particularly bright in the night sky. Its brightness is further enhanced by the potential subsurface ocean, which may contribute to its reflective properties. Europa is one of the most intriguing bodies in the solar system, especially in the search for extraterrestrial life.
IO is the fifth moon of Jupiter in terms of distance from Jupitert and the primary of the Galilean moons.
Jupiter. It's one of the Galilean satellites, discovered in 1609.
because it is the closest to jupiter
The order of brightness for the Galilean moons of Jupiter from brightest to dimmest is Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is the brightest due to its active volcanism, while Callisto is the dimmest of the four.
No. The Galilean moons are the four largest moons of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto) discovered by Galileo. Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, discovered by Christiaan Huygens.
No. It is a moon of Mars. The Galilean moons are moons of Jupiter.

Ganymede is the largest Galilean moon, the largest Jovian moon, and the largest moon in the solar system.
Europe
Galilean moon
Galilean moons orbit Jupiter. Jupiter tugs them around the sun once every 12 years.
The moon Io looks the brightest from the surface of Jupiter. That's because Io is the closest moon to the planet. Io is the moon on the left of the planet.
