Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, reflects a significant amount of light due to its icy surface, which is primarily composed of water ice. The high albedo, or reflectivity, of ice allows it to bounce back most of the sunlight that hits it. Additionally, the surface is relatively smooth and has few impurities, further enhancing its reflective properties. This characteristic makes Enceladus one of the brightest bodies in the solar system.
