Diameter

Jupiter's moon Io [EYE-oh or EE-oh] is one of the most exotic places in the solar system. It is the most volcanic body known, with lava flows, lava lakes, and giant calderas covering its sulfurous landscape. It has fowling with volcanic geysers, spewing flaming hot plumes to over 500 kilometers high. Its mountains are much taller than those on Earth. Heights of 16 kilometers (52,000 feet). Orbits closer to Jupiter's cloud tops than the moon does to Earth. Shoots about 1,000 kilograms (1 ton) per second of volcanic gases and other materials. Io acts as an electrical generator as it moves through Jupiter's magnetic field, developing 400,000 volts across its diameter and generating an electric current of 3 million amperes that flows along the magnetic field to the planet's ionosphere. 3636 kilometer in diameter. Very close to the moon.

1.3 million times 48 is 62.4 moons

48 moons can fit in Earth

1.3 millions Earths fit into sun

62.4 million moons can fit into sun. So you can fit about 62.5million Ios' in the sun.

AMNH Exp.

Our class went to the american museum of natural history. We did worksheets that Rick hands us. We went around and jot down notes and answer questions. The big bang movie and journey to the stars. I learned from the Hall of Meteorites that Ahnignito was one of the biggest meteor of Greenland.








The three things i learned were the differences between a meteor and a meterorite. Also when we were looking in the middle of the hall of meteors. Ahnignito, the women,and the dog. Ahnignito was the biggest meteor found ever in Greenland. What i want to know is the temperature of the surface and is it significsnt to jupiter or the planet earth.
