Moons of Jupiter

Europa is the sixth of Jupiter's moons and the fourth largest. Europa is named after a Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus and taken to the island of Crete to be his lover. Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei and possibly Simon Marius in 1610 and is one of the four Galilean satellites. The others being: Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. Europa is very different from the other moons of Jupiter. Instead of a rocky, cratered surface like Callisto and Ganymede, it instead has a smooth outer surface

Journey to the Center of Jupiter Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System and the 5th planet from the Sun. It is a very unique and interesting planet. Its famous 'Red Spot' and raging gas storms give it a cool look. Jupiter is an outer planet and a gas giant. Most gas giants have many moons and are surrounded by a set of rings or a thin disk of small particles of ice and rock. Like all gas giants, Jupiter has a thick atmosphere made up of mostly hydrogen and helium. Jupiter is much larger than

Review of Literature I. Introduction- History of Jupiter Jupiter is the most massive planet in our solar system. The planet was named after the kings of gods in Roman mythology. In a related way, the ancient Greeks named it after Zeus, the king of the Greek pantheon. Jupiter has helped transform the way we saw the universe in 1610 when Galileo discovered Jupiter's four largest moons. This project will describe Jupiter's characteristics. Some of these characteristics include size, Great Red

The nets played off some design, creating a space within space, filling in the net with dancing images of electricity, spanning, heating, and shifting the atmosphere so that even those on the core, the Holy Grounds, were able to see the stars and moons as they wish. Developed from the philosophy of ancient medieval geniuses, the security nets were charged by the excess hydrogen being sifted through the atmo synthesizers. The WoolPacker eased right through the security net, even as the console

How many Moons does Jupiter have? Jupiter has at least 63 Moons The four largest moons are called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto Four of Jupiter’s moons can be seen using a small telescope or even a pair of binoculars Ganymede is the largest moon, it is bigger than both Mercury and Pluto    IO It is the fourth-largest moon, IO has the highest density of all the moons It has the least amount of relative water of any known object in the Solar System.   Ganymede Ganymede is the largest and most

Earth was a perfect circle. They also thought everything in the universe was perfect. The ancient Greeks also believed that the moon orbited the Earth. The moon stayed with Earth, thus the Earth must not be moving. The planets had a circular orbit. There were a few theories that the geocentric model could not explain: Venus phases and Jupiter's moons staying with Jupiter. As time past, astronomers began to move away from the geocentric model and began to create a heliocentric model. This

from the sun, Jupiter. The Romans named this planet after their god of the sky and thunder. This planet has 318 times as much mass as the earth, and its diameter is 11 times the earth’s diameter. Since this planet is the fastest spinning (rotates in less than 10 hours), it is flattened at the poles and it is bulged at its equator. One Jovian year (the time it takes to orbit the sun), take 11.9 earth years! Jupiter is a gas planet with a possible chance of a core. On the outside of Jupiter, what we can

As the fourth brightest object in the sky, the knowledge of Jupiter has been around and mildly understood since ancient times. The Ancient Romans named the planet after Jupiter, their god of thunder. The oldest know observations of Jupiter date back to the 7th century BCE Babylonians, located within what is now Iraq, and the information written down within the series of cuneiform archives from their astrologers named the Enuma anu Enlil. Meaning ‘In the days of Anu and Enil’, it contains around 70

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is the largest planet in the solar system. It has a mass of more than twice the size of the rest of the planets and about eighty times more massive. To be put into perspective compared to our planet Earth, there would need to be eleven Earths lined up next to each other in order to stretch from one side of Jupiter to the other. We would also need about three hundred and seventeen Earths to equal the mass of Jupiter. Jupiter is mostly made up of hydrogen

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and was discovered in ancient times and it is named after the king of the Roman Gods. Jupiter is best known for being the largest planet and it’s iconic red spot and stripe patterning. Jupiter has four main moons that orbit at different rates and patterns. Jupiter is a gas planet and can grow very cold. Jupiter is a gas giant meaning it does not0 have a solid internal core. It's atmosphere is primarily hydrogen and helium. Thick layers of red
