Gas Giants
Jupiter possesses a gaseous layer where, because of the Earthlike temperature and pressure, droplets may condense from the water vapor.
Uranus and Neptune may possess large oceans of hot, highly compressed, supercritical water under their thick atmospheres, though their internal structure is not well understood at this time. It is agreed that they are different from the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn—some astronomers would class them separately as 'ice giants'.
