Io, Europa, and Ganymede, the three largest moons of Jupiter, have synchronized rotation periods due to a phenomenon known as orbital resonance. Io takes about 1.8 days to complete one rotation, while Europa and Ganymede have rotation periods of about 3.5 days and 7.2 days, respectively. Despite their differing rotation periods, they are locked in a 1:2:4 resonance, meaning that for every one orbit Io makes, Europa completes half an orbit, and Ganymede completes a quarter. This gravitational interaction keeps their rotation periods closely linked.
Europa's rotation takes 3.55 days. Its period is synchronous with its orbit.
Yes. Europa is tidally locked to Jupiter, meaning it completes one rotation every orbit. As a result, one side always faces Jupiter.
The shortest day on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, is approximately 3.5 Earth days long. This is due to Europa's synchronous rotation, where it takes the same time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit Jupiter. Consequently, a day on Europa is equivalent to its orbital period, making it significantly longer than a day on Earth.
Europa Europa was created on 1990-11-14.
Yes. In fact Europa is bigger than Pluto!

Europa was a figure from Greek Mythology. Lincoln had no effect on Europa.
