The deadly cold climate of the celestial body always boils down to a volcano

The harshness of Jupiter's moon Io can cause people to freeze to the volcano.

According to scientists, Jupiter's moon Io is the place with the most intense volcanic activity, but the surface of this celestial body is so cold that it can kill all life, Forbes on July 30 brought believe.

Io is the smallest of Jupiter's four moons. Io's heat is not generated by the formation of this satellite or because of the decay of radioactive elements such as those in or with volcanic activity.

Due to volcanic activity, Io's surface in the equator area is very hot.

Gravity from Jupiter and other moons creates waves in Io's heart. This wave tore and heated hard rock into molten maca, making volcanic activity strong on Io's surface. According to satellite measurements, surface lava flows have an average temperature of 1,300 degrees Celsius, flowing from cracks, craters or craters.

Lava can spray hundreds of times higher than the height of Mount Everest due to the volcanic intensity, extremely thin atmosphere and weak magnetic field on Io. The lava can thus escape from the atmosphere to enter the universe and freeze into a blue gas cluster containing lots of sulfur.

Due to volcanic activity, Io's surface in the equator area is very hot, constantly stirred by lava. But most of Io's remaining surface area is extremely cold. When Jupiter looms over Io, this moon's surface has a temperature of -168 degrees Celsius. In sunlight, the surface temperature is -148 degrees Celsius.

On the one hand, Io's very thin atmosphere caused this phenomenon of a satellite heating effect to not occur. On the other hand, the existence of this atmosphere is only momentary.

In the dark, the atmosphere containing most of SO ₂ is generated from volcanoes broken down by frozen gas molecules falling to the surface in the form of acid snow. When there is sunlight, sublimation sulfur helps restore the atmosphere.
