Q. Moon and Io(Moon of Jupiter) which one receives more radiation energy from the sun?
Asked by kakit - Sat Oct 31 22:38:12 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Radiant energy falls off as the square of the distance from the source. It therefore is logical that since the Moon is closer to the sun than Io that it receives much more radiation

Io is a moon of Jupiter and is volcanically active How is this possible?
Q. do you know the answer?
Asked by Charles Manson - Sun Jul 12 18:29:12 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Io is volcanic because it is pretty much a bouncy ball thats getting mashed around. The side closest to Jupiter is pulled harder than its other, outer side. So Io feels a force stretching it. Io's own gravity tends to UNstretch it, relaxing it back into a perfect sphere. Its 42-hour orbit is not a true circle, so as Io moves closer to and farther from Jupiter, stretching and relaxing, it gets quite a kneading. And that creates a huge amount of heat. (Friction 101)

At surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81m/s squared.?

A. as taking gavity on earth =10m/s square. weight = mg N where m -mass in kg and g gravity due to earth and N unit in newton. weight is gravitation pull by earth on a body that exists . i.e. having mass. now weight of ice=44 which is equal to mg, i.e. 44=mg here we find that mass of ice =4.4 kg. 1)mass of the ice is remain same on lo surface as it is the characterstic of body. 2)weight =product of 4.4 and 1.81 simple calculations can be done by yourself.

How do we know facts about planets such as size, temperature, composition, etc?
Q. I'm doing finishing up a presentation for the moon Titan and to make things more tedious my Professor said, "Do not just speak about what we know, but speak of how we know what we know. For example, if your presentation is about the moon Io, don t just speak about Io s temperature, size, composition, etc., but tell how we know those things, or at least how we know some of those things." Was thinking it was more to it than that, but thanks.

A. Everything we know about planets and moons are by observation - telescopes using visible light, infrared radiation, UV radiation, radio waves, and xrays provide images of different aspects of an object. Close approaches by space probes provide detailed images, spectroscopic analysis of trace atmospheres, measurements of magnetic fields, etc. In the case of Titan, the Huygens probe landed on Titan and sent back data and images.

Asked by Howard - Fri Jun 12 16:41:21 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Mass is a measure of quantity (how much stuff there is) and is measured in kilograms (kg). The mass of an object does not change. Weight is a force exerted by the object and it is measured in Newtons (N). the weight of an object depends on the mass and acceleration due to gravity, so the weight of an object changes, depending on where it is. Weight (N) = Mass (kg) x Acceleration due to gravity (m/s^2) a) We know that the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s^2, so by rearranging the equation we can find out the original mass. Mass (kg) = Weight (N) / Acceleration due to gravity (m/s^2) 44.0 N / 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.49 kg b) Now that we know the mass (as it doesn't change), we can work out the weight on Io.

If Alien life was found how do you think it would affect the world?
Q. How do you think the world would react if life were found off of the Earth? I am not speaking about flying saucer, but what if a creature or bacteria was found in the oceans of Jupiter's moon Io. I personally believe that life exist in this universe even if it is a single cell organism. The universe is just too vast to say that we are the only life. We live in a galaxy made up of trillions of stars in a universe made up of trillions of galaxies and to say there is not even bacteria off of Earth seem impossible.

Hardcore religions that preach that Man is God's one and only, might have a hard time making the adjustments. Want to know the good news? Scientists are finding more and more planets outside our solar system all the time. What is developing, is that they are starting to find planets in the 'habitable zone', Which is roughly the distance away from the star that would range from Venus to Mars in our solar system.

Which Planets (and Moons) in the Solar System could Earth-based Extremophiles live on?
Q. Surely many species of unicellular organisms from Earth could live on Mars. But what about the more punishing environments on other planets and Moons in the Solar System? Could *any* Earth organism survive on a Gas Giant? What about the geologically violent moon Io? What about the extreme heat found of Mercury, or the deep cold of Pluto? Additionally, what do you would be the most complex organism that could exist in the Solar System outside of Earth, and where would it reside?

A. Well, actually it's not certain that anything could even survive on Mars. The main problem is free water. All life on Earth depends on free water, even extremophiles. Personally I think something could exist on Mars, but it's not certain. Anywhere else is even less likely, but not impossible.

Jupiter question?
Q. At first read, it makes little sense that Jupiter's moon Io should be geologically active. It is just to small and faraway from the Sun. So what causes Io to be so active? What activity has been discovered?

A. It's gravitationally locked between Jupiter and it's other moons. They are constantly pulling the moon Io back and forth and the pull is what causes it to be geologically active. I really love astronomy, and I'm really glad to see other people so interested in it!! I hope this made sense!
