Question

In the following table, you will find the maximum surface temperature for each of the solar system's seven large moons. Generally speaking, the farther a moon is from the sun, the cooler it is:

Moon | max surface temp (K) | escape speed (km/s)
moon | 390 | 2.38
Io | 200 | 2.55
Europa | 125 | 2.00
Ganymede | 152 | 2.77
Callisto | 165 | 2.44
Titan | 94 | 2.59
Triton | 54 | 1.47

Using these temperatures, calculate if ammonia (NH3) were to leak out of the interior onto the surface of each of these moons, which would be able to retain it as an atmosphere. (The molecular mass of ammonia is 17.)

A. Earth's moon
B. The Galilean moons
C. Titan
D. Triton
E. A & B
F. A & C
G. A & D
H. B & C
I. B & D
J. C & D
K. A & B & C
L. A & B & D
M. A & C & D
N. B & C & D
O. A & B & C & D

Answer 1

Like the other person said

Good home work question

.

If we tell you the answers you will have no idea if we are telling you a right one or wrong answer

.

It sucks I know but we all had to do it and when we did we all know how to do it now

.

Most the time

Answer 2

your wrong about the farther away a moon is from the sun the cooler it is. a moon can be super heated by a planet just by it's gravitational force no matter how far away it is from the sun. our moon is closer to the sun than what Io is, yet Io is hotter because of the gravity of jupiter. as for your main question it's still the morning and i haven't woke up yet but will return later to give it a go.

That's a great homework question - I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun doing it yourself.
