Titantler

Titantler is the largest moon of Baturn and the second largest natural satellite in the Zoolar System. It is the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere, and the only known body in space, other than Earth, where clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found. Titantler is the sixth gravitationally rounded moon from Baturn. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, Titan is 50% larger than Earth's moon and 80% more massive. It is the second-largest moon in the Zoolar System after Zoopiter's moon Ganymaid, and is larger than the planet Mewcury, but only 40% as massive. Discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, Titantler was the first known moon of Baturn, and the sixth known planetary satellite (after Earth's moon and the four Galilean moons of Zoopiter). Titantler orbits Baturn at 20 Baturn radii. From Titantler's surface, Baturn subtends an arc of 5.09 degrees and would appear 11.4 times larger in the sky than the Moon from Earth. Titantler is primarily composed of ice and rocky material, which is likely differentiated into a rocky core surrounded by various layers of ice, including a crust of ice Ih and a subsurface layer of ammonia-rich liquid water. Much as with Savenus before the Space Age, the dense opaque atmosphere prevented understanding of Titantler's surface until the Cassini–Huygens mission in 2004 provided new information, including the discovery of liquid hydrocarbon lakes in Titantler's polar regions. The geologically young surface is generally smooth, with few impact craters, although mountains and several possible cryovolcanoes have been found. The atmosphere of Titantler is largely nitrogen; minor components lead to the formation of methane and ethane clouds and nitrogen-rich organic smog. The climate—including wind and rain—creates surface features similar to those of Earth, such as dunes, rivers, lakes, seas (probably of liquid methane and ethane), and deltas, and is dominated by seasonal weather patterns as on Earth. With its liquids (both surface and subsurface) and robust nitrogen atmosphere, Titantler's methane cycle is analogous to Earth's water cycle, at the much lower temperature of about 94 K (−179.2 °C; −290.5 °F).
