In the Solar System there are 173 known natural satellites orbiting within 6 planetary satellite systems. Most satellites revolve around the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune. Moving away from the Sun, beyond the "snow line" where temperatures drop below 150 K or -‐123°C, the chemical composition of the planetary moons is dominated by water ice, which is stable over geologic timescales.
