Titan, Dione, Tethys, and Mimas are moons of Saturn.
That's Saturn.
Saturn has 62 known moons. Of all these moons Titan is the largest (second largest in our solar system.). The next is Enceladus which emits gases and dust. Hyperion which is in resonance with Titan. Phoebe which is the largest of irregular moons.
I think you're confusing Saturn with Jupiter. Jupiter has four major moons, Saturn has seven. Saturn's moons were disovered by three people. Titan, Saturn's largest moon, was discovered by Christiaan Huygens. Tethys, Dione, Rhea, and Iapetus were discovered by Giovanni Domenico Cassini. William Herschel discovered Mimas and Enceladus. Galileo Galilei discovered Jupiter's four major moons.
Uranus' five largest moons are Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, and Miranda. These were the first 5 moons seen from Earth : the two largest in 1787, the following two in 1851, and Miranda in 1948. *Ariel is slightly smaller than Umbriel, but is estimated to have greater mass.

Saturn has over sixty moons, but the largest ones are Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, Dione, Tethys, Enceladus, and Mimas.
Saturn has 62 known moons. Of all these moons Titan is the largest (second largest in our solar system.). The next is Enceladus which emits gases and dust. Hyperion which is in resonance with Titan. Phoebe which is the largest of irregular moons.
Tethys is one of the moons of Saturn
Dione is one of Saturn's moons.
Mimas and Tethys, both moons of Saturn, have spectacularly large craters which dominate certain views, and rival the Death Star (and maybe inspired it!). Some astronomers have questioned how an impact crater such a large fraction of the moons' diameters did not completely break them apart. Odysseus crater on Tethys is 450km in diameter; Herschel crater on Mimas is about 139km across.
Saturn has 30 moons, 12 of which are unnamed. The named ones are Pan, Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, Epimetheus, Jana, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Telesto, Calypso, Dione, Helene, Rhia, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Pheobe
The largest 7 are Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, Dione, Tethys, Enceladus, and Mimas. Titan is the second-largest moon in the Solar System with a diameter of 5150 km (1.5 times our Moon). The next 4 are less than half the size of our Moon, and Enceladus and Mimas 12-14% as large.
