The four largest moons of Jupiter are called the Galilean satellites, because they were discovered by Galileo when he first observed Jupiter with a telescope. Their names are:
* Io * Europa * Callisto * Ganymede
Uranus has at least 27 moons that we know of.
The biggest moon is "Ganymede" which is a moon of Jupiter.
Moons are big rocks in space so they are not created all the same way.
They are called the Galilean satellites because they were the only moons of Jupiter's that were big enough for Galileo to see. Ganymede: In Greek mythology, Ganymede, or Ganymedes, is a divine hero whose homeland was Troy. Callisto: Callisto was a nymph (or, according to some sources, the daughter of Lycaon) who was associated with the goddess of the hunt, Artemis. Europa: Europa was a Phoenician woman of high lineage in Greek mythology, from whom the name of the continent Europe has ultimately been taken Io: In Greek mythology, Io was a priestess of Hera in Argos, a nymph who was seduced by Zeus, who changed her into a heifer to escape detection.

Jupiter has 16 moons traveling around it. Jupiter is our big planet in our solar system.
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.
The four large moons on Jupiter, or Galilean moons for the astronomer who discovered them, are called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
They're fairly big for moons, although Jupiter itself is big. The four "Galilean" moons of Jupiter were the first "moons" other than our own Moon to be seen, by Galileo using his new telescope.

Venus has no moons.
there are 63 moons and 4 of them are big
their radii are (in km): Io - 1815 Europa - 1569 Ganymede - 2634.1 Callisto - 2410.3
no moons but have big craters
The Big Red SpotA continuous storm
It's one of Jupiter's four big moons discovered by Galileo: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
It depends where you're looking from. I think its on the bottom left corner.
In Roman myths and legends, Ganymede was one of the many lovers of the chief god Jupiter. On first observing the four largest moons of Jupiter, Galileo gave the name Ganymede to the largest of them. (There are actually dozens of moons of Jupiter, but Galileo's telescope was only big enough to see the largest four.)
