How all the ocean worlds stack up

In order of how much water each world has, from the least to the most, the wettest are: Enceladus, Dione, Earth, Europa, Pluto, Triton, Callisto, Titan, and Ganymede.

Mimas, a moon of Saturn, and Ceres, the largest asteroid in the solar system, might also have subsurface oceans — but scientists aren't yet sure how big each one might be, if they exist at all.
