- 6Jupiter's moon, Io, loses about 1070.0 kg/s of sulfur dioxide to Jupiter's magnetosphere. Sulfur dioxide currently makes up 0.9 % of Io's mass. How long in years until Io runs out of sulfur dioxide at the current loss rate? Io has a mass of 1 × 1023 kg and there are 3.15 × 107 seconds in a year. incorrectAt perigee, the Moon is 365,000 km from Earth. At apogee, it is 407,000 km away. How many times larger does the Moon appear to us during perigee than at apogee? The linear diameter of the Moon is 3,480 km.
