Europa and Jupiter, illustration. Europa (centre left) is one of the moons of Jupiter (upper right), a gas giant and the largest planet in the solar system. Europa's orbit is 600, 000 kilometres above the outer layers of Jupiter. The surface of Europa is made of water ice. There are no large impact craters, as it is thought that meteorites make a crater which fills with liquid water and then freezes. Europa has a diameter of 3122 kilometres, while Jupiter is around 140, 000 kilometres across. The Sun is at upper left, at a distance of around 778 million kilometres. | |
