Titan receives just about 1% of the amount of sunlight Earth does. [1] The average surface temperature is about 90.6 K (-182.55 °C, or -296.59 °F). [2] At this temperature water ice has an extremely low vapor pressure, so the atmosphere is nearly free of water vapor.
Titan is the only moon in the Solar System with an atmosphere denser than Earth's, with a surface pressure of 1.448 atm, [52]: 834 and it is one of only two moons whose atmospheres are able to support clouds, hazes, and weather—the other being Neptune's moon Triton.
The atmosphere of Titan is the dense layer of gases surrounding Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.Titan is the only natural satellite of a planet in the Solar System with an atmosphere that is denser than the atmosphere of Earth and is one of two moons with an atmosphere significant enough to drive weather (the other being the atmosphere of Triton).

Due to its distance from the Sun, Titan is much colder than Earth. Its surface temperature is about 94 K (−179 °C, or −290 °F). At these temperatures, water ice—if present—does not melt, evaporate or sublimate, but remains solid.
Cassini's radar observations are providing intriguing new details about the seas of liquid hydrocarbons on the surface of Titan, our solar system's second-largest moon and a place of interest in ...
An image of Titan's surface from the Huygens lander. Titan is the only object in the outer Solar System where a spacecraft has landed and conducted surface operations. The geology of Titan encompasses the geological characteristics of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. Titan's density of 1.881 g/cm 3 indicates that it is roughly 40–60% rock ...
The Coast Guard is holding a hearing that began on Monday, Sept. 16, into how the deadly Titan implosion happened. As part of that, officials showed an animated recreation of the dive in June 2023 ...
