It is slightly more massive than the second most massive moon, Saturn's satellite Titan, and is more than twice as massive as the Earth's Moon. It is larger than the planet Mercury, which has a diameter of 4,880 kilometres (3,030 mi) but is only 45 percent of Mercury's mass. Ganymede is the ninth-largest object in the solar system, but the ...
The largest, Ganymede, is the largest moon in the Solar System and surpasses the planet Mercury in size (though not mass). Callisto is only slightly smaller than Mercury in size; the smaller ones, Io and Europa, are about the size of the Moon. The three inner moons — Io, Europa, and Ganymede — are in a 4:2:1 orbital resonance with
Two moons in the Solar System, Ganymede and Titan, are larger than the planet Mercury, and a third, Callisto, is just slightly smaller than it, although all three are less massive. Additionally, seven – Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, Io, Luna, Europa, and Triton – are larger and more massive than the dwarf planets Pluto and Eris.
For example, Titan looks bigger than Ganymede, but its solid body is smaller. For the giant planets , the "radius" is defined as the distance from the center at which the atmosphere reaches 1 bar of atmospheric pressure.
Before the arrival of Voyager 1 in 1980, Titan was thought to be slightly larger than Ganymede, [17] which has a diameter 5,262 km (3,270 mi), and thus the largest moon in the Solar System. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] [ 38 ] This was an overestimation caused by Titan's dense, opaque atmosphere, with a haze layer 100–200 km above its surface.
Season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will be based on Rick Riordan’s second book in his series, The Sea of Monsters. In the novel, Percy embarks on a dangerous journey to rescue Grover ...
The largest lake, Kraken Mare, is larger than the Caspian Sea. [75] Like Europa and Ganymede, it is believed that Titan has a subsurface ocean made of water mixed with ammonia, which can erupt to the surface of the moon and lead to cryovolcanism. [72] On 2 July 2014, NASA reported the ocean inside Titan may be "as salty as the Earth's Dead Sea".
