Where else in the solar system are active volcanoes known exist?
BrallanAlvarez
Io, Jupiter's moon has active volcanoes of lava from magma caused due to tidal forces from Jupiter and large moons like Ganymede and Callisto. Triton, a moon of Neptune, and Enceladus, a moon of Saturn both are active with Cryrovolcanoes. These are volcanoes that give off water vapor, methane, ethane, ammonia, etc.

What smelly gas often accomanies active volcanoes?
The smelly gas that often accompanies active volcanoes is known as fumarole gas. This has the same odor as rotten egg.
Which planet has the tallest volcano?
The most geologically active planet I know if Venus, which has constant eruptions which keep the crust of the planet looking very new. There are also a few moons of Jupiter, Io in particular that have similar processes going on. Io is the most volcanic body in the solar system it has 400 active volcanoes 10 of which are higher than Mt. Everest. Comment: Venus has the most volcanoes, but how active they are is still uncertain.

Which planet has most volcanoes?
The planet Earth has the most active volcanoes.Mars had the largest volcano known in the solar systemVenus had the most volcanoes.Io a moon of Jupiter has the most active volcanoes in the Solar System, with over 400.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Earth has the most active volcanoes where as Mars has the biggest volcanoe in the universe but the planet which has the most volcanoes would be Venus.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A difficult question as it depends on whether you include active, inactive or dormant.Including all of them, then Venus, followed by Earth and then Mars.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Forgetting planets, then Io a moon of Jupiter is the most active volcanic body in our Solar System with over 400 known active volcanoes.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Very easy answer . . . Venus has perhaps up to a million volcanoes. For sure it has more than 100,000 volcanoes - we cannot yet tell how many of these are active, or temporarily dormant.
