That would almost certainly have to be Mercury. The intense heat would boil off any volatiles like water during the formation of Mercury, as well as rapidly boiling off any water that arrived in any comet or meteor impact. Mercury is also extremely small with minimal gravity and virtually no atmosphere, which would also lead to extremely rapid loss of any water.
Venus is the only other planet closer to the sun and hotter than the earth, and it's thick atmosphere does hold plenty of water vapor, and there is almost certainly quite a bit of water trapped within the rocks under the surface.
Mars certainly has water trapped in the subsurface rock, the gas giant planets have and hold water within in their thick heavy gravity atmospheres, and icy bodies like Pluto have abundant water-ice. When things are that cold, water in the form of ice is essentially a rock or mineral.

How many planets in the solar system have oceans of water?
one
What is the lightest planet in solar system?
The least massive of the 8 major planets is Mercury. However, Saturn, with its large, deep atmosphere, is the least dense of the planets, and would actually float in water (given a really big container of water).
What gasses are in the solar systems atmosphere?
Hydroyen,helium,Iron,carbon moxide,water,sodim and calcim
This is the densest major boby in your solar system?
Mercury has the greatest density of any of the eight planets and known dwarfs. Saturn has the least density. Saturn is actually less dense than water.
Is their water on juptier?
It is unknown if there is water on Jupiter and it is likely that there is not. Jupiter is one of the biggest planets in our solar system. Jupiter is a redish orange color.
What is the difference between the inner and distant solar system?
In the inner solar system, the planets are rocky and it is possible to have water as a vapor or a liquid on the surface. In the outer solar system the planets are gas giants and water can only exist as ice.
What planet is the least dense of the planets?
Saturn is the least dense of the gas giants, even out of all of the planets in our solar system. Its average density is around 0.7 g/cc (less than water).
How many planets in the solar system have oceans of water?

What planets have water ice polar ice?
Although there are speculations of ice caps on several moons and planets outside of the solar system, the only confirmed planets within our solar system to possess them are Earth and Mars.
How many planets have scientist found?
the amount of planets in this life-system has not yet been found but many scientist are still trying to find out do to mars water roots
Which planets in the solar system are less dense than water?
jupiter, uranus
What planets in the solar system have water?
Earth and mars. Mars' water can only be a gas and a solid.
Is it possible to have an all water planet?
Sure There are planets in our solar system that have 100% liquid surfaces, why not water.
How is the earth different from other planets in the solar system?
It's the only planet that has water.
What is the six members of your solar system?
the sun the planets livingthings nonlivingthings water satellites
