But it also presents us with a paradoxical question: Is water inherently wet, or is it a substance that can be considered dry? Diving Into Wetness “Wetness” is a condition we typically attribute to something that has been soaked or covered in a liquid. If you spill water on a piece of paper, the paper becomes wet. But does the water itself possess this quality? The Molecular Dance of H2O At a molecular level, water is a collection of H2O molecules, each consisting of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. These molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonds, creating a fluid that flows and takes the shape of its container. Wetness: A Relative Term When we talk about wetness, we’re really talking about a relative experience. A surface is wet if it’s covered by a liquid. But water, when it’s surrounded by more water, doesn’t cover or soak itself—it simply exists in a stat

Jupiter's Moon Ganymede Has Water Vapour, Confirms NASA Hubble Space Telescope For The First Time


The largest moon of Jupiter- the ninth largest object in our solar system- Ganymede. For the first time, astronomers have found evidence of  water vapour in the atmosphere of Jupiter's moon, Ganymede. This exciting discovery published in journal Nature Astronomy, was using new and archival datasets from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Ganymede, it may contains more than all of Earth's oceans put together, although the moon is 2.4 times smaller than our planet.
