a( Periods of the four moons
b( The graphical pictures attained
c( Difficulty gallileo had seeing it
c( How mini system helped gallileo form heliocentric views
Lo takes 25 days to travel around jupiter, Europa takes 3 days to travel around, Ganymede takes 7 days, and Callisto takes 15 days
Thy graphics, like the wave lengths, show the shape of the orbits, the more symmetric the wavelengths the more circular the orbits are. To gallileo, it would have looked like the moons were just moving back and forth. seeing the moons go around jupiter gave the idea to gallileo that a solar system could revolve around the sun.
