The Discovery

Dutch scientists(Astronomer) Realized the handles Galileo saw were rings3The Simple Facts

Diameter: 3,200 milesSurface Temperature: -290 degrees FahrenheitSurface Pressure: 1.6 bars at sea level1 Day on Titan = 16 Days on EarthSynchronous RotationNo Magnetic FieldTemp makes water as hard as rocks and allows methane to be found in liquid form. Largely made of water (ice and rocky). Pressure slightly above Earths (1 bar).Pic by Cassini(peer through atmosphere)4

Diameter is about half of Earth and close to Mars. Larger than Mercury but half the mass.5The AtmosphereOrange haze370 miles high~95% Nitrogen~%5 MethaneTraces: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, etc.

Atm a lot higher than Earth atm. Haze means less sun on surface. Contain organic molecules. Elements similar to what is found on Earth (ie essential for life). Methane broken down by sun==must be replenished (possible volcanoes)6LiquidMethane & Ethane lakes, seas, and riversMethane Rain

Clouds of Methane Ice and Cyanide GasLiquid Ocean beneath the surface?Very little sunlight on surface. Resemble the Namibian desert in Africa7
