Callisto

Callisto is a moon of Jupiter and the third largest in the solar system. The surface of this moon is heavily cratered. It is different from the other three Galilean moons because it orbits further away and does not form a part of the orbital resonance. Like our moon, it is tidally locked with the planet so that only one half faces it at all times.

Asked by Wiki User

I doubt it, Callisto is very cold and probably has more ice than volcanic activity. Based on its surface though, it once may have been hot enough for some volcanoes, but more likely pummeled by meteoric debris.

Asked by Wiki User

Callisto is a moon, and moons do not have moons of their own. The gravitational influence of the planet would overwhelm any tendency of a moon to acquire its own moons.

Asked by Wiki User

There is probably nothing on Callisto that we humans would recognize as food. However, all of the required building blocks of food are there; carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, the CHON elements of life. Eventually, we will be able to synthesize food from those elements.
