⭐️The pressure in the ocean of Europa compared to Earth's ocean is still unknown, but future missions will aim to measure it.
💡The rotation speed of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn is determined by studying features in their atmospheres and magnetic fields.
🌒A total solar eclipse viewed from the Moon would show the Earth completely blocking the Sun, creating a stunning and rare celestial phenomenon.
How is the pressure in the ocean of Europa measured?
—Future missions like the Europa Clipper and the European space agency's JUICE Mission will attempt to measure the depth of the ice shell and work out the gravity field to determine the pressure in the ocean of Europa.
How is the rotation speed of gas giants measured?
—Scientists measure the rotation speed of gas giants by studying features in their atmospheres, magnetic fields, and even the ripples in their rings.
What would a total solar eclipse look like from the Moon?
—During a total solar eclipse viewed from the Moon, the Earth would appear to completely block the Sun, resulting in a breathtaking and rare celestial event.
What is the equivalent pressure on a person in the ocean of Europa?
—Assuming the ice shell is 20 km thick, the pressure in the ocean of Europa would be equivalent to being about 2.7 km down in the Earth's oceans.
Why is it important to measure day length on gas giants?
—Measuring the day length on gas giants helps scientists understand their internal dynamics and atmospheric processes.
