What Planets and Moons in our Solar System Have Liquid Water?
from Learning by William · host William Gottemoller
Astronomy is a very humbling experience. Throughout the entire existence of humanity we have looked up at the night sky and the heavens with an everlasting wonder. We always wondered if someone else could be looking right back at us as we were looking towards them. It is the forefront of the human species to be curious, to question, to wonder, and to explore. Our search for answers on if we are one of only or one of many in the universe is no different from our own natural curiosities. As we have looked more thoroughly into the cosmos, we have begun to see that the water on Earth is not one, but one of many planets and moons to have liquid water. Even from within our own solar system, there are planets and many moons that are known to or may possibly have liquid water or liquid lakes on or under their surfaces. Let’s explore the great possible water worlds of Mars, Ganymede, Enceladus, Europa, Titan, Callisto, Ceres, Dione, Mimas, Triton, and, of course, Earth If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or corrections, email me using the address provided below: [email protected] References: Water Worlds in our Solar System https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a14555/water-worlds-in-our-solar-system/ Mars - In Depth https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/space/solar-system/mars/ Earth - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/earth/overview/ Ceres - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/dwarf-planets/ceres/overview/ Ganymede - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/jupiter-moons/ganymede/in-depth/ Ganymede’s Massive Subsurface Ocean https://www.space.com/28807-jupiter-moon-ganymede-salty-ocean.html Enceladus - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/saturn-moons/enceladus/in-depth/ Titan - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/saturn-moons/titan/overview/ Callisto - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/jupiter-moons/callisto/in-depth/ Europa - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/jupiter-moons/europa/in-depth/ Dione - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/saturn-moons/dione/in-depth/ Mimas - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/saturn-moons/mimas/in-depth/ Triton - In Depth https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/neptune-moons/triton/in-depth/
