and u light a match the whole moon would explode/go on fire

Unfortunately not, while there are flammable gasses like methane in Jupiter and Saturn's atmosphere the pressure and temperatures are not conducive to ignition (even with lightning storms that would make our Earth lightning pee in it's electric pants) Similarly the moons are too cold and dead for anything to happen (with the exception of Io). Even though Io is very hot and volcanically active (it's the most volcanically active body in our solar system and far more active than Earth!), no full moon explosions or great balls of fire there.

no i didnt mean jupiter or saturn i meant one of their moons, it was in the discovery, national geographic or nasa website but i cant find it... but i think it was either titan (one of saturns moons) or Europa (one of jupiters moons which both have their own atmopheres dun dun dunnn... but anyway ill have a look later on tonight in my history but cbf now just spent an hour googling -______________________-

edit: europa is warm enough to have liquid water under its surface of ice

malaka said: "Recent observations with HST reveal that Europa has a very tenuous atmosphere (1e-11 bar) composed of !!!!!OXYGEN!!!!!!"

does that say oxygen?

yes it does say oxygen!

omg are u sure?

yes if scientists say so then it must be true

oh ok sorry malaka i should of known that u do a mighty amount of research before you post anything

oh thats ok i forgive you

and also it might have been these moons as well: Io, Ganymede, Callisto, Triton in addition to Titan and europa

We've known about oxygen on Europa for 50 years. And this whispy atmosphere is combustible how? Nothing that could explode or as you put it: "and u light a match the whole moon would explode/go on fire"
Dude your fact was a little far fetched, that's all.
