What are some of the names of the moons of Jupiter- list a few of the biggest ones?
"Jumping Jupiter" got it's nickname from the fact that it's orbiting moons made the planet seem to jump, or pulsate. While at leat 67 moons are currently known, the four moons referred to as "Galilean moons" are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

What are the names of every single moon orbiting Jupiter?
There's like 60-odd. I can't even be bothered to copy-and-paste a list. Just type anything along these lines into Google or Wikipedia or something:Jovian moonsJupiter's moonsmoons of JupiteretcIf you like you can add "list" to the end of the suggestions. One note though, they're all named after chicks that Jupiter (the god) or Zeus (the same god but with a different beard) banged.
What is the biggest planet and the smallest planet with the hottest temperature a list?
The biggest planet in our solar system is Jupiter, while the smallest planet is Mercury. The hottest temperature in our solar system has been recorded on Venus, with surface temperatures reaching up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius).
How man moons does Jupiter have orbiting it?
Lately, this question has had a changing answer! For many years, we knew of 16 moons for the largest planet in our solar system. In the last few years, about two dozen new moons have been announced by astronomers. However, being announced does not mean that these become "official" moons of the planet. To be recognized by the scientific community as a new moon involves a process which may take several years - and some announced objects never get recognized at all! Let's explain. When a scientist makes observations which indicate a new moon, they submit their data and analysis to the scientific community. Other scientists then try to confirm the existance of the new moon by additional observations. If it is confirmed, the data are all submitted to the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The IAU is the governing body for astronomy. One of their jobs is to decide what is sufficiently proven and what is not, and then to assign names. If sufficiently confirmed, the IAU gives a preliminary name to the new moon. Scientists get time to consider the name. Finally, at one of their meetings, the scientific membership of the IAU votes on whether or not to accept the object and its name as an "official moon" of the planet. This process (from initial announcement to official acceptance) may take several years. Of the 23 new moons announced for Jupiter, preliminary names were assigned to 11 of them by the IAU in October 2002. This is an important step in the path taken to become an "official" moon. So these 11 (which are most probably asteroids that have been captured by Jupiter's gravity) will most probably be accepted in the near future and take the official list of Jupiter's moons from 16 to 27. How many more will follow this course is something to stay tuned for! By the way, the recently proposed new moon names are: Themisto, Iocaste, Harpalyke, Praxidike, Taygete, Chaldene, Kalyke, Callirrhoe, Megaclite, Isonoe, and Erinsome. These names are from characters in the life of Zeus or Jupiter in Greco-Roman mythology, thus following in the tradition of the other satellites of our largest planet. UPDATE! As of January 2009, Jupiter has 49 official, named moons and 14 more unofficial ones still under consideration..
