Help!
a planet in our Solar System, and Callisto, a moon of the planet Jupiter, are about the same size. However, Mercury’s mass is about 3 times greater than Callisto’s mass. Why could a future astronaut (perhaps you!) jump higher on Callisto than on Mercury?

Answer:
Callisto orbits Jupiter at a distance of about 1,168,000 miles (1,880,000 kilometers). It takes the moon about seven Earth-days to make one complete orbit of the planet. It also experiences fewer tidal influences than the other Galilean moons because it orbits beyond Jupiter's main radiation belt.
