Recite an old feature indicative only to the Great Moons of the Outer Solar System.
There is presence of ice on outer moons of our solar system .
The outer planets and their moons formed much farther from the Sun, in a region where water, carbon dioxide, and other “gases” condensed into ice .
For this an additional requirement is that a moon did not form in the inner region of a proto-satellite disk, which is too warm for ices to condense.
Europa is thought to contain 8% ice and water by mass with the remainder rock.
Jupiter's outer two Galilean moons Ganymede and Callisto contain more ice since they formed further from the hot proto-Jupiter.
Titan is known to have stable pools of liquid methane on the surface
