I would like you to compare the size of some of the largest moons of the solar system to their host planets. 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.
What allows moons of Jupiter and Saturn to have liquid interiors?
Choose the best answer b. Terrestrial planets are further from the Sun, more dense and have fewer moons c. Terrestrial planets are closer to the sun, less dense and have fewer moons d. Terrestrial planets are closer to the Sun, more dense and have fewer moons e. Jovian planets are closer to the Sun, less dense and have more moons f. Jovian planets are further from the Sun, more dense and have more moons
