I did a bit of research and it appears that water (mostly in the form

of ice or frost) may exist on (or in) many of the bodies of our solar

system. A recent (10/92) article in Science magazine spoke of radar

evidence for frozen water at the north pole of Mercury. Ice may also be

present at the smaller south pole. There is good evidence that Venus has

some small amount of water vapor in its atmosphere. All of the gas giants

(Jupiter, Saturn, etc.) likely have water ice as a significant component

of their cores, and Voyager found that Jupiter's and Saturn's atmospheres

have frozen water clouds, and below them clouds of liquid water droplets.

Ice is the major constituent of Saturn's rings, and is a major component of

the crust and mantle of several of Jupiter's and Saturn's moons (indeed,

there is speculation that Jupiter's moon Europa, in addition to having a

crust that is largely ice, may have a layer of liquid water beneath this

crust.) Ice is found on the surfaces of the major moons of Uranus and

Neptune. And comets consist mainly of ice. But if you want oceans (or

even lakes), Earth seems to be the only place in the solar system to look.

Water exists on all of the planets of the solar system, but in varying quantities and almost never in liquid form. The planets are either too hot or too cold for that.

Venus likely has the least water. The oxygen there has combined to form carbon dioxide and the hydrogen has been lost to space. There is likely only a tiny trace of water vapor there. Mercury, the other hot planet, has ice deep in craters near its poles, brought there by crashing comets. On Mars, in comets, on frigid plutoids and moons, and especially in Saturn's rings, there is plenty of water ice. The only location that may have liquid water is the Jupiter moon Europa, where it would be in an underground ocean buried under several kilometers of thick surface ice.

Yes, scientists found that Mars shows the evidence of having water on its surface at one point in time.

no i don't think so but their might

Europa is covered with 15 miles thick ice on the surface (-360 Celsius) so there must be water and possibly life under this surface
