What forms of water is on Jupiter or on Jupiter's moon?

Because Jupiter is a gas planet and does not have the correct elements to make water Jupiter does not have any water on it. But one of Jupiter's moons, Europa, has ice, a form of water. The the cracks in the moon suggest that there is an an ocean or source of water under the surface, and when the planet shifts and cracks the water that comes to the surface freezes.


Does Europa have dirt or gravel?

Europa is an icy moon of Jupiter, and its surface is covered with a layer of water ice. It does not have dirt or gravel like we find on Earth.


Which planets in the solar system have liquid water ice and clouds?

Only Earth has Liquid water, Ice, and Gas. Many planets have clouds in the atmosphere; Venus and Jupiter, for example. But the clouds of Venus are made of sulfuric acid at several hundred degrees. Jupiter's moon Europa _might_ contain liquid water beneath the ice; there are interesting ridges on the surface that suggest water surging from cracks in the ice and then freezing. It will take a dedicated probe to discover what's going on there.


Which jupiters moon covered with water ice?

Typical of moons of the outer solar system nearly all of Jupiter's moons are covered in ice. Only Io, the innermost moon is not and that it because it is powerfully volcanic.


Why is europa the brightest moon to Jupiter as it is not the closest?

Europa is the brightest moon of Jupiter because its surface is covered in smooth ice, making it highly reflective. This icy surface reflects more sunlight compared to the other moons with darker, more cratered terrains, despite being further away from Jupiter.

Is life possible on Jupiter's moon Callisto?

Yes, because there is a frozen layer of ice on the surface, and then liquid water underneath that. Its atmosphere also makes it possible for life to survive. It is more likely that there is life on another of Jupiter's moons, Europa. But they both have water on them, so yes, it is quite possible.
