What moon of Jupiter would appear the largest in Jupiter's sky?

Question

Would it appear as large as our moon does in our sky?

Answer 1

I used Starry Night software to travel to the surface of Jupiter and look at the moons as they passed overhead. Here are the diameters of the four Galilean moons, as seen from the surface of Jupiter. For comparison, the diameter of our own Moon seen from the surface of Earth is about 30 arcminutes.

Io: 36 arcminutes
Europa: 18 arcminutes
Ganymede: 18 arcminutes
Callisto: 9.1 arcminutes

Interesting question!

Answer 2

It relies upon which moon, they orbit at various distinctive altitudes. the closest of the 4 great moons to Jupiter is Io. As considered from Io, Jupiter could look approximately 19 ranges in the time of in the sky, or approximately 36 situations wider than the sunlight as considered from the Earth.

Answer 3

Io is both slightly smaller than our moon, and slightly closer to its primary. If you could avoid getting messed up by the magnetic flux, it would look about the same size as our moon, if it were overhead.

Ganymede is the largest, but is nearly three times further away than Io while being less than twice its size.
