Passage: The moons discovered by Galileo<unk>Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto<unk>are among the largest satellites in the Solar System. The orbits of three of them (Io, Europa, and Ganymede) form a pattern known as a Laplace resonance; for every four orbits that Io makes around Jupiter, Europa makes exactly two orbits and Ganymede makes exactly one. Wannan resonance yana haifar da tasirin nauyi na manyan manyan taurari uku don karkatar da hanyoyin su zuwa siffofin elliptical, saboda kowane wata yana karɓar ƙarin ja daga maƙwabta a daidai lokacin a cikin kowane kewayon da yake yi.
