If you could live on Jupiter, what would you see in the sky at night besides stars?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

many moons

Explanation:

None of Jupiter's moons have more than traces of atmosphere, so their skies are very nearly black. ... For an observer on Io, the closest large moon to the planet, Jupiter's apparent diameter would be about 20° (38 times the visible diameter of the Moon, covering 5% of Io's sky).
