The escape velocity of Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is approximately 1.8 kilometers per second (about 5,900 feet per second). This velocity is the minimum speed an object must reach to break free from Io's gravitational pull without any additional propulsion. Io's relatively low mass and size contribute to this escape velocity, which is significantly lower than that of larger celestial bodies like Earth.
