The only planet that has water is Earth.

Answer:

Water can be found as a solid (ice), liquid or vapour. It is present in at least one of these forms on almost all the bodies of out solar system and several extrasolar planets.

Earth is generally known as the water planet because of its vast amount of liquid water. However liquid water is also present on Mars where it manifests itself as melt water flows at the poles and the edges of some craters, and Europa is thought to have liquid water beneath its icy crust. The gas giants have droplets of liquid water in their atmosphere as well as water vapour.

ice or frost is the most prevalent form of water in our solar system. It is found on many of the smaller orbiting bodies such as comets and on the moons of several planets including our own. Even Mercury is believed to have water ice at the bottom of craters at its north and south poles.

As far as extrasolar planets (those orbiting suns other than ours), GJ 1214b, probably contains a huge amount of water and there is no reason to suspect others do not have a similar composition.
