In what state water is present in moon?
Water has been found in interstellar clouds within our galaxy, the Milky Way. It is believed that water exists in abundance in other galaxies too, because its components, hydrogen and oxygen, are among the most abundant elements in the universe.

Interstellar clouds eventually condense into solar nebulae and solar systems, such as ours. The initial water can then be found in comets, planets, dwarf planets, and their satellites. In our solar system, water, in ice form, has been found:
    on the Moon,
    on the planets Mercury, Mars, and Neptune,
    on the dwarf planet Pluto,
    on satellites of planets, such as Triton and Europa.
