Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moons of Jupiter are mostly made of rock with little ice, while the moons of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are composed of a higher proportion of ice, making them more similar in composition to comets and Kuiper Belt Objects. This is because the moons of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune formed farther away from the Sun where temperatures are cooler, and there is more ice available to accrete into their formations.
