Using diameters of 12,700 km, and 140,000 km, 116,000 km for Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn respectively, please provide the ratios of the following moons to their host planets (you can use Table 12.1 from the book to get the diameters of the moons): Luna (Earth's moon), Io, Callisto, Ganymede, Europa, and Titan. After collecting those ratios, please tell me one thing that you notice that stands out about those results.arrow_forward
- NASA Scientists want to measure the current distance between two of Jupiter's Moons, Ganymede and Europa. They set up a laser on the surface of Ganymede, shine it at a mirror on the surface of Europa and measure how long it takes for the laser light to return to a detector on the surface of Ganymede. They calculated the current distance between the two moons to be 787 million meters. How long did it take the light to make it to Europa and back? *Give answers to at least three significant figures. DO NOT submit answers in scientific notation.
