Io (eye'-oe, IPA: [ˈaɪoʊ], Greek Ῑώ) is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter.
Although the name "Io" was suggested by Simon Marius soon after its discovery in 1610, this name and the names of the other Galilean satellites fell into disfavor for a considerable time, and were not revived in common use until the mid-20th century.
Io is most noteworthy for its volcanic nature; it is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System.

Io (eye'-oe, ˈaɪoʊ, Greek Ῑώ) is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter.
However, they were surprised to discover that Io's surface is almost completely lacking in impact craters, due to the tremendous amount of volcanic activity constantly reshaping the landscape.
In addition to volcanoes, Io's surface includes nonvolcanic mountains, numerous lakes of molten sulfur, calderas up to several kilometres deep, and extensive flows hundreds of kilometres long of low-viscosity fluid (possibly some form of molten sulfur or silicate).

Io had long been known to be the source of enormous clouds of escaping neutral atoms and a ring of charged particles that encircles Jupiter (the "plasma torus"), but the mechanisms that maintain these features and the degree of control by Io's volcanoes remained mysterious.
Io's surface materials vary markedly in their light-scattering behavior, producing sharp color differences and contrast reversals that alter the appearance of the surface depending on whether it is illuminated obliquely or viewed with the Sun more directly behind the observer.

 Jupiter's Moon Io
Io is one of 28 moons of Jupiter.
In addition, Io has tremendously high mountains, which are not volcanoes, and tectonic faults that give rise to the mountains and volcanoes, as well as split the mountains apart.
Finally, Io is surrounded by a plasma torus, an ionized cloud of alkali metals, chlorine, sulfur monoxide, sulfur dioxide, oxygen, and sulfur orginating from Io but a part of the Jovian magnetic field.

 Io (moon) - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
Io is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter.
The three moons are locked into Laplace-resonant orbits such that Io orbits twice for each orbit of Europa, which in turn orbits twice for each orbit of Ganymede.
Recent data from the Galileo probe indicates that Io has a core of iron (perhaps mixed with iron sulfide), the core's radius being at least 900 km.
