摘要
Traces of water vapour have now been detected in the stratospheres of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It can't be coming from the deeper atmosphere — water freezes out too effectively at the cold tropopause, the lower boundary of the stratosphere. It is probably delivered continuously to these planets by interstellar dust, or from their ring systems.
