How many planets and moons in our solar system have water?

Liquid water is present on: Earth – 71% of surface Moon – small amounts of water have been found (in 2008) in the inside of volcanic pearls brought from Moon to Earth by the Apollo 15 crew in 1971.[19] NASA reported the detection of water molecules by NASA's Moon Mineralogy Mapper aboard the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft in September 2009.[20] Strong evidence suggests that liquid water is present just under the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus and on Jupiter's moon Europa where it may exist as a 100 km deep ocean covering the whole moon which would amount to more water than is in all the Earth's oceans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water See the link for water vapor and water ice, also.

The earth has water. Geological evidence gathered by unmanned missions suggests that Mars once had large-scale water coverage on its surface, while small geyser-like water flows may have occurred during the past decade. In 2005, radar data revealed the presence of large quantities of water ice at the poles and at mid-latitudes (November 2008). The Phoenix Mars Lander directly sampled water ice in shallow martian soil on July 31, 2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars Jupiter's icy moon Europa is slightly smaller than the Earth's moon. Like the Earth, Europa is thought to have an iron core, a rocky mantle, and a surface ocean of salty water. Unlike on Earth, however, this ocean is deep enough to cover the whole surface of Europa, and being far from the Sun, the ocean surface is globally frozen over. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_(moon) Jupiter's very large moon Ganymede also has water. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganymede_(moon) Our moon has water. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/11/13/water.moon.nasa/index.html And Callisto, another moon of Jupiter has water. http://solarsystem.jpl.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Jup_Callisto Neptune's internal structure resembles that of Uranus. Its atmosphere forms about 5 to 10 percent of its mass and extends perhaps 10 to 20 percent of the way towards the core, where it reaches pressures of about 10 GPa. Increasing concentrations of methane, ammonia and water are found in the lower regions of the atmosphere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptune Mar 04 10, 6:58 PM
