Does Enceladus have an atmosphere?
Yes, Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, has a very thin atmosphere composed mostly of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. The atmosphere is believed to come from ice volcanoes that erupt water vapor into space.
What are some things that are remarkable about Enceladus?
Enceladus is most remarkable because it is our solar system's only living Realm of ice. Saturn's moon, Enceladus is made up of 300 miles of ice and water vapor.
What is the origin name of Enceladus?

What is the moon that drips water?

Where are cryovolcanoes located?
Cryovolcanoes are located on icy bodies, such as moons and dwarf planets, in our solar system. Some well-known examples include the plumes on Saturn's moon Enceladus and the potential cryovolcanoes on Pluto and its moon Charon. These icy volcanoes erupt water, ammonia, methane, or other volatile substances instead of molten rock.
Why do scientist think that conditions for life might exist within Enceladus?
They do not think that conditions for life must exist inside Enceladus; they merely think it is possible. The Cassini probe has detected geysers venting ice and water vapor from beneath the icy surface of Enceladus, indicating that there is liquid water beneath the ice. Scientists consider liquid water to be the best indicator for a planet or moon to potentially be suitable for life.
When was Enceladus - moon - created?
Enceladus - moon - was created on 1789-08-28.
How far is Enceladus from Saturn?
Enceladus has a semi major axis of 237,948 km
What causes geysers on Enceladus?
A geyser is caused by water on the surface of the Earth seeping down toward the center of the Earth where it contacts magma- or super heated rock- that causes it to boil and erupt back up to the Earth's surface by the process of convection. A tremendous column of a geyser eruption is often the result of the process which repeats itself over and over again through the geyser's vent which is closed after the pressure is released.
Which of Saturn's moons is Enceladus?
Enceladus is the sixth-largest moon of Saturn. This was discovered in the year 1789.
