What is Ios (A moon of jupiter) diameter?
The diameter the Jupiters moon Io is 3,642 km. Io is the 4th largest Moon in the solar system. Io is also a very active moon having some 400 volcanoes. This extreme geologic activity is the result of tidal heating from friction generated within Io’s interior by Jupiter’s varying pull. Several volcanoes produce plumes of sulfur and sulfur dioxide that climb as high as 500 km (310 mi). Io’s surface is also dotted with more than 100 mountains that have been uplifted by extensive compression at the base of the moon’s silicate crust. Some of these peaks are taller than Earth’s Mount Everest.[6] Unlike most satellites in the outer Solar System (which have a thick coating of ice), Io is primarily composed of silicate rock surrounding a molten iron or iron sulfide core. Most of Io’s surface is characterized by extensive plains coated with sulfur and sulfur dioxide frost. Io’s orbital speed is 17.334 km per second. Equatorial surface gravity 1.796 m/s2 (0.183 g).
