Question
1. How many active volcanoes were found on Io by Voyager 1?
2. What is the average surface temperature of Io?
3. What is the temperature on Io near active volcanoes?
4. What is the maximum height of volcanic eruption plumes on Io?
5. Which of the four Galilean satellites travels the fastest?
6. Which of the four Galilean satellites travels the slowest?
7.
A) Set your date and time for June 1, 2014, at 1:00 PM (It is important that your computer is set to Phoenix time). Moving forward, at what time does Io begin passing behind Jupiter’s limb? (Ignore the hint in the walkthrough about adding 2 hours to these times.)
B) At what time does Io complete its pass behind Jupiter’s limb?
8. About how much time passed between when Io began to pass behind the limb of Jupiter to when Io was completely obscured?
9. What is the amount of time it takes for a complete cycle of Ganymede?
10. What is the amount of time it takes for a complete cycle of Europa?
11. What is the maximum elongation of Callisto?
12. Starting from June 1, 2014, at 1:00 PM, what is which time is a viewing opportunity to see all moons on the same side of Jupiter? (To find the first viewing opportunity, expand in the horizontal graph and move time forward until all the lines are above the central line.)
13. In what constellation is Jupiter on June 1, 2014?
(Among these four, Virgo, Libra, Gemini, and Cancer, there is the answer)
14. What is the date of next conjunction for Jupiter, starting after June 1, 2014?
15. In what constellation is Jupiter on the date of next conjunction?
16. What is the date of next opposition for Jupiter, starting from June 1, 2014?
17. When did the first sunset take place at 0N, 0E on Jupiter (make sure that your date and time were set to sunset in Phoenix on June 1, 2014, this is about 2:30 UT, June 2 on Jupiter)?
18. When did the second sunset take place at 0N, 0E on Jupiter (make sure that your date and time were originally set to sunset in Phoenix on June 1, 2014, this is about 2:30 UT, June 2 on Jupiter)?
19. What is the length of a solar day on Jupiter based on the date and times you observed for the sunsets?
20. Assuming a start date of June 1, 2014, in what year does Jupiter complete its first full revolution?
21. How long is a solar day on Ganymede?
22. What percentage of Io’s surface is covered by volcanoes?
23. What is the orbit size of Europa in kilometers?
24. How long is a sidereal day on Io?
25. What is the orbit size of Callisto in astronomical units?
26. Given that the mass of Earth’s Moon is 0.0123 Earth masses, what is the mass of Callisto in multiples of Earth’s Moon's mass?
27. What is the mass of Ganymede?
28. What is the radius of Io?
29. Next select Europa. Again, remember that the last moon you checked in the Find side pane will be the one that appears in the Info side pane.
Given Earth’s Moon’s radius of 1737 km, what is Europa’s radius in multiples of Earth’s Moon’s radius (divide Europa’s radius by Earth’s Moon’s radius)?
30. How far is Jupiter currently from Earth?
31. The distance at conjunction is calculated by adding the planet’s orbit size to Earth’s distance from the Sun (1 au). What is Jupiter’s distance at conjunction?
32. The distance at opposition is calculated by subtracting the planet’s orbit size from Earth’s distance from the Sun (1 au). What is Jupiter’s distance at opposition?
33. What is Jupiter’s current apparent magnitude?
34. What is the length of a solar day for Jupiter?
35. In which constellation is Jupiter on June 1, 2014?
36. What is the angular size of Jupiter as seen from Earth?
37. Given that Earth’s radius is 6378 km, what percentage of Earth’s radius is Jupiter’s radius?
