>>>What are all the planets and moons besides earth and Europa that have liquid H20 water on them? \n\n\nAs you point out the three gas giants are all believed to have layers of liquid water. Added t that there are trace droplets of liquid water in the atmosphere of Venus but they don’t last long individually.\n\n>>>>>My astronomy book says Uranus has water on it underneath a massive layer of liquid hydrogen but this can't be right. It says the temperature there is -360 degrees F and water freezes at 32.\n\nThe ‘surface’ temperature is –360oF. Just as the surface temperature of Earth is 80oF. But as you get deeper into the Earth the temperature increases until it is hot enough to melt rock and iron. And in exactly the same way as you get deeper into the centre of a gas giant the temperature increases until you can melt ice. \n\n>>>>>>. Could life exist with the h20 but virtually no solar radiation? Primitive simple life forms I mean.\n\nIf conditions are relatively stable then where primitive simple lifeforms exist, advanced complex lifeforms can exist even more easily.\n\nCould life exist under such conditions? Sure. It wouldn’t be life as we are normally used to it, but it is perfectly plausible. Life on the surface of the Earth today is almost entirely dependent on solar energy only because that is the most efficiently harvested energy source. It allows those organism that use it to outcompete any rivals using alternative energy sources.  But life didn’t start out relying on solar energy, and the vast majority of all life on Earth today doesn’t rely on solar energy.\n\nLife started out harvesting energy directly from the rocks. Those first lifeforms used iron and sulfur for energy, not sunlight. And even today the weight of the bacteria deep underground that  rely exclusively on energy form rocks is far greater than the weight of those organisms that cling to the surface and rely on sunlight.\n\n\nThere is no reason why life on other planets couldn’t survive perfectly well using similar systems of energy harvesting. And the only reason mineral consuming lifeforms never got very complex on earth is because the Earth is volcanically active, which make sit hard for big complex creatures to survive.  On a gas giant at the interface between the atmosphere and the oceans that wouldn’t be a problem, and life could evolve to become as complex as it liked.

Below the clouds are just more gases.  At some point there is differentiation of the gases into more or less dense, but that must occur at a very deep level.\nIo has been described as looking like a sick pizza.  The white is not cheese, but sulfur dioxide snow.  The red is not tomato sauce, but sulfurous lava flows.  The dark is not mushrooms or pepperoni, but open volcanic pits filled with molten sulfur.  Not a poular tourist stop.\nEuropa is the flattest solid object in the Solar system, with no point rising to a height of more than 200 yards.  It is believed to have a liquid ocean on the inside, and the surface just can't bear the weight of anything higher.\nGanymede is the most like Earth of any object in the Solar System, if the Earth had no water, as Ganymede has tectonic plates, which, as on Earth, have produced faults, subduction zones, mountains, etc.  The surface is mottled with grays and browns of various shades and intensities, and there are white splashes across many areas, nearly all with a crater at their center.  These mark areas where meteors landed, the heat of impact melting ice, which then flies out and refreezes.\nCallisto has one of the most battered surfaces in the Solar System, totally covered with craters, far more than our Moon is.  Callisto also has one of the three largest known craters in the Solar System, Valhalla, about 1200+ miles in diameter, and filled with smaller craters.

Some planets are too hot for water, some are too cold. The larger planets are made from methane and other gases.

NASA's global hydrology and climate center may be what your looking for.\n\nhttp://www.ghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/

I believe Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, is considered has the best possibility of supporting life. This is because it's believed water may be just under the icy surface just as it is under Earth's polar ice caps.

It has a thick, dense atmosphere that is almost entirely nitrogen, like 98%. It is one of only four celestail bodies with a thick atmosphere: earth, Venus, Mars, and Saturn's moon Titan. Other planets or moons have very thin, wispy atmospheres about 1/800,000 that of earth's, but these are nothing more than trace gases and not a true atmosphere.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.\n\nBut most famous for it's rings are Saturn, since it's rings are so prominent they can be viewed from earth.

The external tank on the space shuttle uses liquid Hydrogen and liquid Oxygen.  I hope that helps.

Venus, Uranus and Pluto\n\nI agree with the answer above about Uranus.

There are two main types of planets: the rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus).  Rocky planets are also called terrestrial planets, and gas giants are also known as Jovians.  Pluto is sometimes classified as an icy planet, although its status as a planet (or a lost comet/moon) is disputed.

UB-313 (also known as "Xena"). This is the only "tenth planet" that has a moon and is larger than Pluto.\n\nThere are several other "planetoids" or "plutinos" including Sedna, Quaoar, Ixion, Varuna, and Orcus.

Water is a necessity for life and that is based on temperature more so than which planet you are from the sun, it could be the tenth planet from the sun as long as the temperature is similar to ours here. \nBut with so many galaxies and suns in the universe I'm sure somewhere there is another world much like our own.\n\nHeres something you might like it shows everything that we are able to see in the universe and zooms down to our solar system.\n\nhttp://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/universe.html

I've never heard of any such thing, and neither "fluffy waterballs" nor "fluffy water balls" returns a single result on Google.  ("Waterballs" and "water balls" do, but the results are mostly about snow globes and such.)  The only "balls" of water commonly known to hit the ground are raindrops.\n\nThat being said, there's no reason to assume that water would exist on any particular planet.

Planets have moons. Damn!

yes, but very little.\n\nsome water enters earths atmosphere from meteors and other cosmic debris.  other wise water can be created and destroyed through chemical processes that man preform, such as found in a fuel cell.  Ultimately not much.

water is water everywhere in the chemical sense of good ol' H2O (imagine it was a small 2).  Water exists in the form of ice in various places:  in comets, ice caps of Mars, and some of the rings around Saturn are made of ice particles.  Jupiter's moon Europa is covered in water ice sheets like the arctic ocean.\nTechnically the only "pure" water is distilled water... all other naturally occurring water on earth has some impurities, even rain.
