Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter, and the largest moon in our solar system. It is 1500 times as massive as the dwarf planet/asteroid Ceres and larger in diameter than the planet Mercury. Had it not been co-formed with or captured by Jupiter, it would have been a planet in its own right.
Had it formed closer to the Sun, it might have retained both its oceans (frozen over) and an atmosphere, but more likely would have lost them and ended up with a dry surface like Mars.
