Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Subsurface ocean planets and subsurface ocean worlds are celestial bodies that exhibit evidence of containing vast bodies of liquid water beneath their icy or rocky surfaces.
The existence of these hidden oceans has ignited significant interest and speculation in the realm of planetary science due to their potential implications for habitability and the search for extraterrestrial life. The concept is grounded in the fundamental role of water as a prerequisite for life, as evidenced by Earth's own biodiversity that thrives in aquatic environments. While Earth remains the sole known planet with liquid water on its surface, emerging research suggests that sub surface ocean worlds could hold the key to unlocking novel insights into the possibility of life beyond our home planet. Known subsurface ocean worlds within our Solar System include Europa, Enceladus, Titan, Triton, Dione, Ganymede, Callisto, and potentially Pluto. |
