Taking into account the dwarf planet's size and interior heat flow, which is around two percent that of Earth's, the team discovered that the temperatures and pressures at play below Sputnik Planitia could give rise to a viscous, slushy subsurface ocean of water ice.

But in September 2015, NASA released Cassini data showing evidence of a much larger, global ocean of water beneath the frozen crust of this moon.

Enceladus not only has a thin global ocean of water, as shown in this NASA illustration (layer thickness is not to scale), but some of the water is likely heated via hydrothermal vents.

Beneath the ice lies a vast ocean of water that could harbor life.

The goal is to keep Juno from disrupting any aliens — microbial or otherwise — that might live in hidden oceans of water below the icy shells of Jupiter's moons Europa and Ganymede.

9 Most likely spots for alien life in our solar system: underground refuges on Mars, hot spots on Saturn's moon Enceladus (whose south pole is dotted with geysers), and Jupiter's moons Europa and Callisto (whose icy crusts may conceal vast, underlying oceans of water).

Wendy Panero, associate professor of earth sciences at Ohio State, and doctoral student Jeff Pigott are pursuing a different hypothesis: that Earth was formed with entire oceans of water in its interior, and has been continuously supplying water to the surface via plate tectonics ever since.

Since the whole world does not appear to freeze during a ice age, the must be massive ice making going at the pole driven by heat lifting oceans of water to the sky from the equator where it is pushed by the expanding air and vapor to the poles areas where it returns to the surface and follows cold land like a culvert between warmer expanding ocean air back down to the equatoral region.

The frigid satellite has long been thought of as candidate for possible microbial life due to its vast subsurface ocean of water.

It seems that those who fear AGW (or at least some of them) do admit that it is not realistic to expect a planetary atmosphere such as ours to warm up oceans of water over the timescale required by AGW theory because of the huge volume and density of that water and thus the heat storage differentials.

Scientists comparing radar images from the Cassini spacecraft with geophysical models say that the three ridges in this image, released yesterday, were created when Titan's gradual cooling after its formation caused partial freezing of the moon's subsurface ocean of water and ammonia.

The new map hints that our neighbouring world may once have been more Earth - like, with a plate tectonics system and an ocean of water.

The additional observations of Europa supported the theory that an ocean of water currently exists below the surface.

Instead of an ocean of water it would have an ocean of molten rock.

The most well known are the «Tiger Stripes» at the south pole, where the huge water vapor geysers erupt from, originating from a subsurface ocean of water.

So GISS climate modeler Michael Way took a topographic map of Venus based on findings from another mission, filled in the lowlands with an ocean of water, and ran the global climate model to simulate the climate of ancient days on Venus.

I do understand that the winds are driven by the uneven heating of the earth and, in turn, the winds effect surface currents, but the oceans of water, with it's peculiar properties, have an outsized effect.
