The only known moon to have a dense atmosphere is Titan, the largest moon of Saturn and 2nd largest moon in the solar system.
At the surface the atmospheric pressure is 2 to 4 times the surface pressure on Earth. The atmosphere is between 500 and 1000 km thick. It consists of 98.4 % nitrogen, and 1.6% hydrocarbons such as ethane, methane and many others.

∙ 15y agoThe space probe Cassini discovered (on February 17, 2005) a significant atmosphere around Saturn's moon Enceladus. Titan, another moon of Saturn, also has a substantial atmosphere. (The European probe Huygens, which went to Saturn piggy-back on Cassini, landed on Titan in January, 2005.)

In our Solar System, the moon with the most substantial atmosphere is Titan [See related link] - a moon of Saturn. It has the most dense atmosphere of any moon known. The atmosphere is so dense and gravity reduced, that flight should be possible for humans, by just strapping on a pair of wings.

Is there any kind of wind or rain on the moon?
No. There is no atmosphere on the moon. Without atmosphere, you cannot have wind or rain.
Why don't stars twinkle from the moon?
Our atmosphere causes the stars to appear to twinkle as they try to shine through it, but the Moon doesn't have the same kind of atmosphere as Earth does.
Why is the water on the moon frozen?
The moon doesn't have the kind of atmosphere that can hold heat like Earth. Therefor, it is too cold for water.
What planet has no atmosphere and no moon?
Mercury has no moon nor an atmosphere.
Which moon has a atmosphere?
The moon Titan has an atmosphere. Titan is a moon for the planet Saturn and is also the largest moon for the planet.
Is there any kind of wind or rain on the moon?
No. There is no atmosphere on the moon. Without atmosphere, you cannot have wind or rain.
What kind of clouds do we find on the moon?
Clouds of cheese vapour.There are no clouds on the moon because the moon has no atmosphere.
Can a candle burn on the moon?
No, a candle can't burn on the moon if it's not in some kind of atmosphere containing oxygen. The moon really doesn't have any atmosphere, and that means no oxygen to support combustion of any kind.
