Several moons in our solar system are known to have ice, including Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, which is believed to have a subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust. Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, also features a frozen surface and geysers that eject plumes of water vapor and ice particles. Other icy moons include Ganymede and Callisto, both of which are also orbiting Jupiter and have substantial amounts of water ice. Additionally, Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has a thick atmosphere and lakes of liquid methane, alongside icy regions on its surface.
Mars has polar ice caps and two moons, named Phobos and Deimos. The ice on Mars is primarily made up of water ice and carbon dioxide ice, and the two moons are irregularly shaped and thought to be captured asteroids.
Neptune has a total of 13 moons. The moons are composed of ice and rock. Triton is the largest of Neptune's moons and the furthest away.

The variation in ice content among Jupiter's moons is primarily due to their formation history and proximity to the planet. Inner moons, like Metis, are subjected to higher radiation levels and heat from Jupiter, causing any ice to sublimate or melt away. In contrast, outer moons, such as Europa and Ganymede, formed farther from the Sun and Jupiter, allowing them to retain more ice due to lower temperatures and less radiation exposure. Additionally, geological processes and impacts can further influence the ice content on these moons.
