Detailed explanation-2: -Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system and the only moon with its own magnetic field. Callisto is the most heavily cratered object in our solar system.
Detailed explanation-3: -With a diameter of 5, 148 kilometers (3, 273 miles), Ganymede is slightly larger than Mercury but almost 2.4 times smaller than Earth. Named after a cupbearer to the gods in Greek mythology, Ganymede has an atmosphere largely made of oxygen, with smaller amounts of nitrogen.
