Description
Titan is Saturn's largest moon and the second largest in the solar system (after Ganymede of Jupiter). It is the only moon in the solar system with clouds and a dense, planet-like atmosphere.
Titan is 3,200 miles (5,150 km), about the half the size of Earth, andalost as large as Mars. It a mean surface temperature of minus 290 Fahernheit (Minus 179 degrees Celsius), which makes water as hard as rocks and allows methane to be found in liquid form It surface pressure is slightly higher than Earth's pressure It's orbital period is 15,945 days!
Titan's name comes from Greek mythology. The Titans were elder gods who ruled the universe before the Olympians came to power, according the Theoi Project website. The moon was discovered by Dutch astronomer, Christiaan Huygens in 1655.
Titan's atmosphere is active and complex, and it is mainly composed of nitrogen (95 percent) and methane (5 percent). Titan also has a presence of organic molecules that contain carbon and hydrogen, and that often include oxygen and other elements similar to what is found in Earth's atmosphere, and that are essential for life.
It is thought that conditions on Titan could make the moon more habitable in the far future. If the sun increases its temperature (6 billion years from now) and becomes a red giant star, Titan's temperature could increase enough for stable oceans to exist on the surface. If this happens, condition on Titan could be similar to Earth's, allowing conditions favorable for some forms of life. (Source: Wikipedia)
