Other moons in the solar system are made of various materials such as rock, ice, and a mix of both. For example, Jupiter's moon Europa is mostly made of water ice while Saturn's moon Titan has a thick atmosphere and surface lakes of methane and ethane. Mercury and Venus do not have any moons.

The moon you are referring to is Europa. Europa is covered in a layer of ice, and its surface appears cracked due to tectonic forces caused by gravitational interactions with Jupiter and its neighboring moons. Beneath the icy crust, scientists believe there may be a subsurface ocean that could potentially harbor life.
Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter, is not a volcano. It is composed mainly of water ice and rock, and its surface is covered with various geological features including impact craters, ridges, and grooves. Volcanic activity has not been detected on Ganymede.
Yes, the Earth and Moon formed before Jupiter. The Earth is believed to have formed around 4.5 billion years ago, with the Moon forming shortly thereafter, likely as a result of a giant impact event. Jupiter, on the other hand, is estimated to have formed a bit later, around 4.4 billion years ago, as it accumulated gas and ice from the protoplanetary disk. Thus, the Earth and Moon predate Jupiter's formation.
The moon scientist think might have life is Europa. It has oceans 3 to 60 miles under ice.
Europa is the moon of Jupiter known for being covered in a thick layer of ice. This ice is believed to cover a vast, subsurface ocean that has sparked scientific interest in the search for potential extraterrestrial life.
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.
The planet is Jupiter
Europa is believed to have a subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust due to gravitational interactions with Jupiter and other moons causing heating, maintaining the water in a liquid state. This potential liquid water makes Europa one of the most promising candidates for finding extraterrestrial life in our solar system.
Europa is the moon of Jupiter with a surface made mostly of water ice. This moon is believed to have a subsurface ocean that may contain more water than all of Earth's oceans combined.
Enceladus, its also has some relatively complex organic molecules...leading this BIOLOGIST to think it had/has some life on it. Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter is covered with ice
Sailor Jupiter is a better ice skater than any of the other sailor scouts.
Other moons in the solar system are made of various materials such as rock, ice, and a mix of both. For example, Jupiter's moon Europa is mostly made of water ice while Saturn's moon Titan has a thick atmosphere and surface lakes of methane and ethane. Mercury and Venus do not have any moons.
There are no planets but the planet Jupiter has a moon called Europa that is covered in ice and might have a ocean full of life.
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.
