10. The Diamond Oceans Of Neptune And Uranus
Depending on what you believe, there are either 8 or 9 planets in the Solar System that includes Earth. Either way though, two of the outer planets that we have only seen through probes and satellites are Uranus and Neptune. These are gaseous planets that most would think wouldn't be capable of having any oceans at all, but you would be wrong in that assumption. Because not only do they each have oceans, they technically have oceans that are comprised of diamonds.
How is this possible?
9. The Magma Oceans of Io
From an ocean of diamonds we now move to arguably the hottest oceans in our solar system. But it's not a planet that has this, but the moon of Io. To those that know the moon this won't be that much of a surprise because Io is the most "active" moon in our solar system due to it having over 400 volcanoes on its surface.
8. Pluto's Nuclear Ocean
Pluto, it's a planet, don't anyone tell you different.
But, because of its distance from the sun, you'd very likely think that anything but ice on Pluto is impossible. It's so far from the sun that heat reaching it is basically impossible and thus its surface temperature is at times -400 degrees Fahrenheit!
7. Kepler 62e's Ocean World
If you've been studying space for a long time, then you'll know that many people are looking for potential "habitable planets" for humanity to go and live on one day. One of those planets is potentially Kepler 62e. A planet that orbits a red dwarf star. The reason this planet (and one other nearby) has a lot of people's attention is because this planet resides in the "habitable zone". Meaning that with its position to the sun, there is potential for water, and thus, potential for life.
6. Kepler 22b's Life Ocean
What's that? Another Kepler planet? Why yes it is, Kepler 22b is another planet that many think could be a special planet, except unlike the last one...they think this is one that we might be able to actually live in. Or perhaps even more accurately...have life there right now.
5. Enceladus's Underground Life Ocean
Nope, we're still not done showing you oceans that could have life, but this one is a twist on the formula because it's an ocean that very much could have life...but is also very much underground. Oh, and it's also not a planet, but a moon of Saturn, which obviously changes the game in various ways as you might expect.
4. Ceres and the Impossible Ocean
This next one is a bit curious in its own right, because this is not a planet or a moon. It's actually a rock object that fills up the asteroid belt in the solar system. It's the largest object in that asteroid belt in fact and makes up a LARGE fraction of its own weight.
3. Jupiter's Record-Breaking Ocean
Jupiter is another planet that we define as a "gas giant", and it's the biggest planet in our solar system. But as scientists have learned, while it's gas on the outside, it's very much liquid on the surface.
2. Lobster Oceans
To be clear, this is not an ocean filled with Lobsters, that would be weird. Rather, this is a theoretical ocean that some think exist on tidally locked planets (meaning planets that don't rotate and always have one side facing the sun).
1. Alpha Centauri Bb Lava Ocean World
Earlier, we showed you a world that is said to be a true "ocean planet", well, here's the opposite of that in a way. In the Alpha Centauri sector of space (where certain planets are said to be potential hotspots for human habitation one day), there is a place called Alpha Centauri Bb. This is a planet that is NOT in the habitable zone of the star it encircles, and thus, the heat it gets from being in proximity make it a place where lava and magma are literally everywhere.
Its surface temperature is said to be 2200 Fahrenheit, which is three time hotter than Venus, which is very hot due to the Greenhouse effect.
