Do all of the Galilean moons revolve around Jupiter at the same rate?
No, the Galilean moons do not revolve around Jupiter at the same rate. Each moon has its own unique orbital period, ranging from about 1.8 days for Io to about 16.7 days for Callisto.
What is true about the moon's orbit around Earth?
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
What is the smallest Galilean moon?
Europa
What is Kepler's Constant for Jupiter's moons?
Kepler's constant for Jupiter's moons is the same as for any moon in our solar system, which is about 1.0. This constant describes the relationship between a moon's orbital period and its average distance from its planet.
Which of the Galilean moons has a grooved terrain?
Ganymede is the Galilean moon known for having a grooved terrain. These grooves are believed to be the result of tectonic activity on the moon's surface.
What Galilean Moon has the fastest revolution?
Io is the Galilean Moon that has the fastest revolution around Jupiter, completing one orbit in about 1.8 Earth days. Due to its close proximity to Jupiter, Io experiences strong tidal forces which contribute to its rapid orbit.
What is Moon's rotational period?
The moon's period of rotation on its axis is precisely synchronized with its period of orbital revolution around the earth. Both are 27.32 days.
Is the Moon's orbital period greatest at the full moon?
The moon's "orbital period" is the length of time it takes the moon to make onecomplete revolution around the earth. That period of time is about two days lessthan the time it takes for the moon to go through all of its phases.
How long is the moon's orbital period in days?
The orbital period of the moon [around the earth] is 27.321582 days.
Do all of the Galilean moons revolve around Jupiter at the same rate?
No, the Galilean moons do not revolve around Jupiter at the same rate. Each moon has its own unique orbital period, ranging from about 1.8 days for Io to about 16.7 days for Callisto.
What Galilean moon has the shortest sidereal period?
twenty juan
What is the orbital period of the moon in earth years?
the orbital period of Saturn in earth years are 89years
What is the orbital period of the moon?
27.3 days around the earth.
What are the orbital speeds of Jupiter's Galilean moons compared to earth's moon?
There are about 63 known moons of Jupiter but the Galilean moons are the 4 moons visible and Ganymede ,the largest found by Galileo Galilee in January 7 1610.The orbital speed of the Jovian moons vary where the Jupiter's magnetic field is very strong.Only a mean speed can be used for comparison.The four moons and their orbital speed compared to the orbital speed of Earth's moon are:Jovian Moons Orbital speed/ Orbital speed Ratio(km/s) (Earth's moon)1. Io orbital speed 2.75 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 2.672.Europa orbital speed 2.187 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio !: 2.123. Callisto orbital speed 1.732 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.684.Ganymede orbital speed 1.305 km/sEarth moon's orbital speed. 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.27
Is Deimos a Galilean moon?
No. It is a moon of Mars. The Galilean moons are moons of Jupiter.
How long does it take Deimos the moon to rotate on its axis?
Like Earth's moon, Deimos' axial rotation is synchronous with its orbital revolution as a satellite of Mars. The period of both motions is 30.3 hours.
What is the period of revolution of Pluto's moon?
the period of revolution is about 6.4 days
