Io is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter and has a diameter of 3,642 kilometres, making it the fourth-largest moon in the Solar System. It is also the most volcanically active object in the solar system, with hundreds of volcanoes, some of which erupt lava fountains dozens of kilometres high.
