pick undersea volcanic activity as
what may make life possible in europas oceans
identify which planet is smaller that the moons of some planets
mercury is smaller that some of jupiters moons
select the right reason jupiter/uranus/neptune rings are dimmer that saturns
darker materials, instead of bright ice
