Europa Brahaspati ke chaand hae. Iske dunia se sadhaaran durbiiin se dekha jaae sake hae aur chaar Galilean moons me se ek hae. Ii sab se chhotaa chaand hae jon Brahaspati ke parikrama kare hae, aur ii dunia ke chandarma se thorraa chhota hae. Europa ek icy chaand hae, aur ii Brahaspati ke tiin icy chaand me se Brahaspati ke sab se nagiich hae. Iske kaaran iske surface kaafi nawaa hae, jiske kaaran tidal heating hae.
