Orbit spread
See how far these moons orbit from Jupiter.
Dashed blue rows are Earth-based references. Satellite rows show orbit ranges, while Earth's Moon uses a single average distance. They are comparison anchors, not objects orbiting Jupiter.
Science Lesson + 3D Modeling
Research the moons, compare them to trips and places you already know, and calculate one shared scale for 3D printing and classroom string models.
