  • Identifying Inner Satellites: Composition and Size
    There is no known inner satellite with a diameter of 4800 km that is not made of dense rock.

    * Inner satellites: These are generally considered to be moons that orbit close to their host planet.

    * Diameter of 4800 km: This is a very large size for a moon. The largest moon in our solar system, Ganymede (orbiting Jupiter), has a diameter of 5268 km.

    * Not made of dense rock: Moons are typically composed of rock, ice, or a mixture of both. While some moons have significant icy components, it's very uncommon for a moon of that size to be made of something other than dense rock.

    It's possible you're thinking of a fictional object or a misunderstanding of some astronomical facts.
