How is Saturn's moon size compared to earth's moon size?

Answer 1

Titan is the biggest of the 52 known moons orbiting Satern. It is a cold world enclosed by a thick, hazy atmosphere impenetrable by telescopes and cameras.

With an equatorial radius of 2,575 kilometers (1,600 miles), Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system. It's bigger than our own moon and even the planet Mercury . Only Jupiter's moon Ganymede is larger than Titan, with a diameter barely 112 kilometers (62 miles) greater.

The temperature at Titan's surface is about minus 178 degrees C (minus 289 degrees F).

Titan orbits Saturn at a distance of about 1.2 million kilometers (745,000 miles), taking almost 16 days to complete a full orbit - 15.94 days to be exact.

Titan is of great interest to scientists because it is the only moon in the solar system known to have clouds and a mysterious, thick, planet-like atmosphere.

This is methane, existing in solid, liquid and gas form. this is what causes the atmosphere and the marking all over the planet that resemble parts of our own. the methane falls in droplets of about 1cm in diameter in the same way snow falls on earth.

Answer 2

Titan is a moon of Saturn, not Jupiter, and it is the only moon in the solar system known to have an atmosphere. Photos sent back form it's surface by a space probe show a flat surface littered with what appear to be smooth chunks and pebbles of ices. Infrared Photography of it's polar region shows many sprawling lakes, which astronomers believe are filled with liquid ethane.

Answer 3

It is very big or small depending on how you look at it.

Answer 4

Titan is the only satellite in the solar system to have a substantial atmosphere. Others do have very tenuous atmosphere, but Titant's atmosphere is even denser than Earth's.

Answer 5

Methane and things found in smog.
