Callisto (moon)
Callisto / k ə ˈ l ɪ s t oʊ / [9] ( Jupiter IV ) is the second-largest moon of Jupiter , after Ganymede . It is the third-largest moon in the Solar System after Ganymede and Saturn 's largest moon Titan , and the largest object in the Solar System not to be properly differentiated . Callisto was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei . At 4821 km in diameter, Callisto has about 99% the diameter of the planet Mercury but only about a third of its mass. It is the fourth Galilean moon of Jupiter by distance, with an orbital radius of about 1 883 000 km . [2] It is not in an orbital resonance like the three other Galilean satellites— Io , Europa , and Ganymede —and is thus not appreciably tidally heated . [10] Callisto's rotation is tidally locked to its orbit around Jupiter, so that the same hemisphere always faces inward; Jupiter appears to stand nearly still in Callisto's sky. It is less affected by Jupiter's magnetosphere than the other inner satellites because of its more remote orbit, located just outside Jupiter's main radiation belt. [11] [12]
