Re: Cassini and Io's shadow on Jupiter

Doubtful,
IO crosses much much much faster Jupiter's sky (than the Moon Earth's) for its shadow to have any effect on the planet's surface; besides, Jupiter is itself rotating much faster than Earth, is 5 times further from the Sun and is mainly gas, so even then, it's got no impact.
