    Titan (moon) - Wikipedia

    • Discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, Titan was the first known moon of Saturn and the sixth known planetary satellite (after Earth's moon and the four Galilean moons of Jupiter). Titan orbits Saturn at 20 Saturn radii or 1,200,000 km above Saturn's apparent surface. See more

    Overview

    Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest in the Solar System. It is the only moon known to have an

    Discovery and naming

    The Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens discovered Titan on March 25, 1655. Fascinated by Galileo's 1610 discovery of Jupiter's four largest moons and his advancements in telescope technology, Huygens, … See more

    Formation

    The regular moons of Jupiter and Saturn likely formed via co-accretion, similar to the process believed to have formed the planets in the Solar System. As the young gas giants formed, they were surrounded by discs of … See more

    Orbit and rotation

    Titan orbits Saturn once every 15 days and 22 hours. Like Earth's Moon and many of the satellites of the giant planets, its rotational period (its day) is identical to its orbital period; Titan is tidally locked in synchronous rotation wit… See more

    Bulk characteristics

    Titan is 5,149.46 kilometres (3,199.73 mi) in diameter; it is 6% larger than the planet Mercury and 50% larger than Earth's Moon. Titan is the tenth-largest object known in the Solar system, including the Sun. Before the arrival of … See more

    Atmosphere

    Titan is the only moon in the Solar System with an atmosphere denser than Earth's, with a surface pressure of 1.448 atm, and it is one of only two moons whose atmospheres are able to support clouds, hazes, and … See more

    Climate

    Titan's surface temperature is about 94 K (−179.2 °C). At this temperature, water ice has an extremely low vapor pressure, so the little water vapor present appears limited to the stratosphere. Titan receives about 1% as much su… See more

    • According to 4 sources
    Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens discovered Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, on March 25, 1655. It was nearly 300 years later, in 1944, when Dutch-American astronomer Gerard Kuiper discovered one of the characteristics that makes Titan exceptional: this distant moon actually has an atmosphere.
