The day cycle on Titan lasts 15.9 Earth days, which is how long it takes Titan to orbit Saturn. Titan is tidally locked, so the same part of Titan always faces Saturn, and there is no separate "month" cycle. Seasonal change is driven by Saturn's year: it takes Saturn about 29.5 Earth years to orbit the Sun, exposing different amounts of ...
Titan’s surface has a temperature of minus 290 degrees, experts say. Clouds and ‘seasonal weather’ exist on Saturn’s ‘Earthlike’ moon Titan, NASA says Skip to main content
Saturn is named after the Roman god of wealth and agriculture, who was the father of the god Jupiter.Its astronomical symbol has been traced back to the Greek Oxyrhynchus Papyri, where it can be seen to be a Greek kappa-rho ligature with a horizontal stroke, as an abbreviation for Κρονος (), the Greek name for the planet ().

Map of global diurnal temperature range over land from 1951 to 1980. In meteorology, diurnal temperature variation is the variation between a high air temperature and a low temperature that occurs during the same day.
Scientists finally have a comprehensive view of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. A team of astronomers has created the first global map of Titan by using the Cassini probe's over 100 fly-bys to ...

Liquid-water environments have been found to exist in the absence of atmospheric pressure and at temperatures outside the HZ temperature range. For example, Saturn's moons Titan and Enceladus and Jupiter's moons Europa and Ganymede, all of which are outside the habitable zone, may hold large volumes of liquid water in subsurface oceans.

The Habitable Exoplanets Catalog [78] uses estimated surface temperature range to classify exoplanets: hypopsychroplanets – very cold (<−50 °C) psychroplanets – cold (<−50 to 0 °C) mesoplanets – medium temperature (0–50 °C; not to be confused with the other definition of mesoplanets) thermoplanets – hot (50–100 °C)
