Europa rotates on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around Jupiter, approximately 3.5 Earth days. This means that Europa is tidally locked with Jupiter, causing one side to always face the planet.
Europa is a moon of Jupiter, making it a part of the jovian planet system. It is not a planet itself but rather a satellite that orbits a gas giant. Europa is an icy world with a subsurface ocean that is believed to have conditions suitable for life.
The Galilean moons—Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—remain in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's strong gravitational pull. This gravitational force keeps the moons in stable orbits as they revolve around Jupiter. The balance between their orbital velocity and Jupiter's gravitational pull keeps them from escaping or falling into the planet.
Europa takes about 4 days to orbit Jupiter. It also takes about 4 days to rotate so it's considered a synchronized orbit.
There are 4 moons that orbit around the planet Jupiter. The moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They vary in size and composition, with Ganymede being the largest moon in the solar system and having its own magnetic field.
Jupiter
No. Europa does not meet the definition of a planet because it does not orbit the sun. It orbits the planet Jupiter.
Europa is a sattalite not a planet.
Europa orbits around the planet Jupiter. It is one of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, along with Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. Europa is known for its icy surface and potential subsurface ocean that makes it a prime target for future exploration missions.
Europa is a Moon of Jupiter.
None Europa is a Moon not a planet
Europa is a moon of Jupiter.
Europa is not a planet; it is one of the moons of Jupiter. Earth is much larger than Europa.
No, europa is a moon
Europa is Jupiters moon.
Jupiter is the planet with the moon Europa
No, Europa does not have rings but Jupiter, the planet it orbits, does.
