Europa
One of the . Europa has an ice crust criss-crossed with dark lanes and is thought to have a liquid water mantle. The dark lanes have lengths from a few km to 1000's of km. Some are straight and others are curved.
the outer eight satellites form two groups: one in which the satellites exhibit retrograde revolution around the planet ( Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae, and Sinope) and the other in which the orbital motion is prograde ( Leda, Himalia, Lysithea, and Elara).
