It's not so common to hear things like "Other planets in our solar systems do they have water?"
Many of us used to think back in those days that our Earth is the only planet with water and many still trail that line of thought.
Well our earth is not the only planet in our planetary neighbourhood to possess water neither does it even possess the largest amount of it but it does has the largest stable amount of surface water.
Water has been associated with Life and a necessary factor for the emergence and survival of biological organism (This doesn't mean water is only exactly what we know it to be here)
So this deep study into our neighbourhood has revealed some really fascinating things about us and the solar system. . .
Below is a countdown of planets in our solar system with water or ice on it and these are possible candidates for our extra-terrestrial biological search..
(1)EARTH
Ok there is no way i am not starting my list with this one, its a very pretty planet beaming blue from the enormous amount of surface liquid water it possess.
To me this is the crown jewel of our solar system and my home so don't blame me if i give her much more than others..
This planet seats in a very good place in the Goldilocks zone (Not too hot or too cold zone of a planetary system) of our system.
The third planet from the sun and possess almost 71% of it in contrast to 29% of land.
a good percentage of this water is in form of solid ice mostly in it's poles. .
91% percent of the earth's total water is salty water...
