GEYSER HEIGHT ANALYSIS ❄️

Randomized: 5 Questions from our 50-item Cryo-Volcanism Bank.

Sources

PLUME HEIGHT

The geysers reach heights of **hundreds of kilometers**. Some particles even escape the moon's gravity entirely and help form Saturn's E-ring.

ENCELADUS FACTS
Reach: Space-bound

ESCAPE VELOCITY

Because Enceladus has low gravity (**0.011 g**), the escape velocity is only ~**239 m/s**. Plume gases easily travel 10x the moon's diameter.

GRAVITY SPECS
$v_e$: ~860 km/h

E-RING SOURCE

Enceladus is the primary source of material for Saturn's vast, diffuse **E-ring**. Roughly 200 kg of water vapor is ejected into space every second.
