Mimas is a small moon of Saturn. Something crashed into Mimas and left a huge crater about 80 mi. wide, about 1/3 of the moon itself! The collision nearly broke Mimas apart. Mimas also has a mountain at it's center that is Mt. Everest.

The only thing that makes it different from other moons, is the fact that it is the only moon that orbits the Earth.
The Cassini Division is a large gap that is visible from Earth, and it is produced by an orbital resonance with the moon Mimas.

Gravity makes the moon orbit. U should learn ur physics.
because the sun is shinning on the moon which makes the moon visible
Mimas has no atmosphere. It does not have enough mass to hold on to one.
One of Saturn's (many) moons is named Mimas.

People do call Mimas (a moon a Saturn) the Death Star moon, because it bears an,d exaordinary resemble space to the Death Star.
There is a "Herschel Crater" on our own Moon; on Mimas; and on the planet Mars.
Mimas is a large moon of Saturn. Metis is a moon around Jupiter.
The diameter of Mimas is 396 km (246 mi). Making it is the twentieth-largest moon in the Solar System and the smallest known astronomical body that is rounded in shape due to self-gravitation.
Enceladus is the 14th largest moon is the Solar SystemMimas is the 20th largest moon in the Solar System

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.
