Cool chart!

Cool chart! This list ranks the Solar System objects in order of least to most estimated water. Earth comes in 7th place! Note the text that says this includes water ice.

While reading further, I was surprised to learn today that Jupiter is thought to have less water than Earth — only traces of water have been detected in Jupiter’s atmosphere, mostly due to a lack of oxygen to combine with hydrogen.
