Summary

Description
English: A diagram of Jupiter's entire moon system and ring system:

bottom panel: The outer irregular moons of Jupiter, with a scale of 1 pixel = 40,000 km. Moon groups, as well as ungrouped moons, are individually listed. They are graphed by their inclination, as well as the closest/furthest points in their orbit from Jupiter (perijove and apojove) middle panel: The middle moons of Jupiter, with a scale of 1 pixel = 4,000 km. Although Jupiter's middle moons can be resolved, the inner moons and its rings are still difficult to resolve

top panel: The inner moons of Jupiter, with a scale of 1 pixel = 400 km. On the left, the rings of Jupiter are labeled, and on the right, the inner moons are labeled.
