For moons to have an orbital resonance, there must be at least two moons orbiting the planet. Orbital resonance occurs when the orbital periods of the moons are related by a ratio of two small integers, such as 1:2 or 2:3.
The orbit of Jupiter is at an average distance of 778.4 million km from the sun. Jupiter orbits between 740.3 million km (perihelion) and 816.4 million km (aphelion) from the sun.
Astronomy is the science of looking at the sky to see stars, planets and other things in space. As Jupiter is a planet that can be seen, it is related to Astronomy.
When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.

A month is defined by an orbiting body. Jupiter has many different months. I have added a related link to a chart of each moon and the length of its month listed under Orbital Period.
The principal quantum number (n) is related to the size and energy of the orbital. It indicates the main energy level of an electron and correlates with the average distance of the electron from the nucleus. A higher principal quantum number corresponds to a larger orbital size and higher energy.

Jupiter is 778 million km or 484 million miles from the sun. See the related link for more information.

A wave function describes the behavior of an electron in an atom. An orbital represents a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron. The wave function is used to calculate the probability density of an electron in an orbital.

Jupiter. Jupiter (according to Roman Mythology) is the king of the gods and the god of sky and thunder. He is often related to Zeus from the Greek pantheon.
