Water Worlds

Water Worlds refer to planets or celestial bodies that are predominantly covered by water, either in the form of oceans, seas, or significant bodies of liquid, such as water, ammonia, or methane. These worlds may have features such as deep oceans, ice-covered surfaces, or even water in a vapor state within an atmosphere. The term can also encompass various theoretical or fictional worlds in science fiction and speculative discussions, reflecting environments where water is a critical component for the existence of life or unique geological structures. Examples of water worlds in our solar system include Europa and Enceladus, both of which are moons with subsurface oceans beneath their icy crusts. In broader contexts, water worlds highlight the potential for diverse ecosystems and the search for extraterrestrial life in places where liquid water is present or abundant.
