Water World
A Water World is a type of Terrestrial Planet with a substantial amount of water on its surface or subsurface.[1][2] It can be completely or mostly covered in water. The liquid on the surface can consist of different fluids like lava or ammonia.
The surface can be a layer of ice with a liquid water ocean underneath. For example Ganymede has a liquid saltwater ocean below its icy surface.[3]
Probability of life on a Water World is high, because water is essential for most life forms (flora, fauna, sentient and non-sentient). Many species evolve in or around a source of water. These are rare and thus more valuable to discover.
