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.

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 is the longest river in the solar system?

The longest river in the solar system is thought to be the Vid Flumina on Saturn's moon Titan. It is around 400 km (250 miles) long and it flows into the liquid methane and ethane seas on Titan's surface.


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?


What is the most prominent moon for Saturn?

Titan is the most prominent moon of Saturn. It is the second-largest moon in the Solar System and is unique for its thick atmosphere and lakes of liquid methane and ethane on its surface.


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.


What makes Titan unique among the moons of the solar system?

Titan is unique among the moons of the solar system because it has a thick atmosphere, with clouds, rain, and lakes of liquid methane and ethane on its surface. It is the only moon with a dense atmosphere and the only one known to have bodies of liquid on its surface.


What planet has methane in its atmosphere?

The only planet in which water exists naturally as a solid and liquid and gas is?

Earth is the only planet in our solar system where water exists naturally in solid, liquid, and gas states. This is due to its unique distance from the sun and its moderate temperatures that allow for such diverse forms of water.

Does lakes of methane exist on moon Titan?

Yes, lakes of methane and ethane have been found on Saturn's moon Titan. These lakes are primarily made up of liquid hydrocarbons due to the extremely cold temperatures on Titan's surface. The presence of such lakes makes Titan the only other known celestial body in our solar system with stable liquid bodies on its surface besides Earth.


Is Titan the satellite for Jupiter?

No, Titan is actually a moon of Saturn, not Jupiter. It is the second-largest moon in our solar system and is known for its thick atmosphere and lakes of liquid methane and ethane on its surface.


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.
