These Are The Largest Bodies Of Water In Our Solar System
From the icy crusts of distant moons to the oceans beneath their surfaces, the solar system is teeming with hidden water.
This visualization from Made Visual Daily, via Visual Capitalist, compares all known and estimated bodies of water in our solar system, including those beneath the surface, on a volumetric scale.
The data comes from sources including USGS, NASA's Ocean Worlds program, and a variety of planetary science missions, like Cassini and MESSENGER.
Comparing Water Volumes in the Solar System
Below is the full breakdown of water volumes by celestial body or source:
Earth's ocean holds 1.3 billion km³ of water, but that's dwarfed by subsurface oceans on other moons. Ganymede, for instance, is believed to host 11.4 billion km³ in liquid water beneath its ice shell—nearly nine times the volume of Earth's oceans.
The Surprising Abundance of Extraterrestrial Water
When thinking of water in space, Mars or icy comets may c...
