Once you get out to the orbit of Jupiter, and anything farther from the sun than Jupiter, the temperatures are low enough to liquefy methane.

Why is liquid so rare in your solar system?

Well, in my solar system liquid isn't really that rare. The second planet in my solar system has an almost entirely liquid crust, and a liquid mantle. The third planet orbiting the star in my solar system has a surface over 75% covered in liquid, and has a liquid mantle. The sixth and seventh planets in my solar system both have large hydrogen oceans. Several of the moons orbiting the sixth and seventh planets in my solar system also have liquids. I don't see why liquid could be called rare in my solar system. What about yours?


Is the moon titan like earth?

It has some Earthlike characteristics. It has the most Earthlike atmosphere of any object in the solar system, which is 98% nitrogen and 1.4% methane. Compare this to Earth's 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. All other dense atmosphere in the solar system are either mostly hydrogen or mostly carbon dioxide. Titan is also the only object apart from Earth to have stable liquid on its surface, featuring lakes and rivers of liquid methane.


What is Saturn's major moon?

The moon that's probably most noteworthy is Titan. This is the only moon in our solar system to sustain a thick atmosphere, and the only other body in our solar system which has surface liquid such as lakes and rivers (although they are liquid methane and ethane). Its also the second largest moon in our solar system. Rhea is also interesting as it it thought to have a ring system, small particles of rock and ice in orbit around it.


What Tpyes Of Gases Are On Uranus?

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It has the coldest atmosphere in the Solar System with methane in the uppermost atmosphere.


Which gases are there in our solar system?

Hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, methane, carbon dioxide, neon, ammonia are some of them.

What is bigger the solar system or the sun?

The solar system includes the sun and all things orbiting it, so naturally the solar system is bigger than the sun.

Is the satellite titan the only moon to hold liquid water?

No. First of all, to be clear, the liquid on the surface of Titan is methane, not water. It does however have a layer of liquid water beneath its icy surface. Some other moons in the solar system probably have liquid water under their surfaces as well. Most notable of them is Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter.
