The largest Jovian moons have sizes comparable to Mercury. Why do they have an icy composition compared to Mercury's rocky composition? They are captured icy comets. The ice comes from comet tails. The Jovian planets and their moons formed beyond the frost line, where ices were more abundant than metals and rock. They are the result of asteroid impacts on the Jovian planets.

You are somewhere in the solar system. It's much colder than Earth, and you are airborne in the planet's atmosphere, with blue skies around you. And while you can tell that your planet is rotating fairly rapidly, it is remaining daylight at all times, indicating a very large axis tilt (much larger than Earth's). Where are you? Uranus Saturn Jupiter Mars
