Moons the Jovian Planets

The moons of the Jovian planets are rather like the terrestial planets of the inner solar system. The big difference is that ice could form far from the Sun, so that we see lots of ice.

Pluto and its moon Charon are really like these moons. There are lots of moons. Here is a sample of the most interesting.

• Ganymede (Jupiter).
• Io (Jupiter).
• Titan (Saturn).
• Triton (Neptune).
• Pluto and Charon.
