Aside from the gaseous, liquid, and solid states we are accustomed to, water can form a different type of crystalline solid called clathrate hydrate. Although they look similar to ice, clathrate hydrates have actually small water-based cages in which smaller molecules are trapped. These trapped &#8220;guest&#8221; molecules are essential for preserving the crystalline structure of clathrate hydrates, which would otherwise &#8220;collapse&#8221; into regular ice or water.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-01-solid-states-planets-moons.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Testing the waters: Analyzing different solid states of water on other planets and moons<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like on Earth, water on other planets, satellites, and even comets comes in a variety of forms depending on multiple factors such as pressure and temperature.
