1:10 To be more precise, the low gravity means that the rate the atmospheric pressure/density falls with height is much slower, so the atmosphere extends much further out than on Earth. Another way to think about it is that a much larger atmosphere (per square meter anyway) weighs less thanks to the lower gravity, so it can be a similar pressure to Earth while being more extensive.

Maybe a comet or some other fast moving body skimmed through Saturn long ago fast enough that it pulled a lot of gas out with it before settling in an orbit around Saturn, and then smaller particles and rocky bodies were pulled in around it, eventually coalescing into the moon we know as Titan, with all that gas trapped inside.

Seems like the conclusion for most moons with any kind of ice on them is that they have some kind of liquid ocean underneath. Too a layman, this seems a bit suspect, considering the big deal made out of Europa's under-crust ocean.

@T--xo2uq 8 жыл бұрын
+The Puncakian when a moon is spinning and orbiting a planet, the planet warms up the moon. but when the planet turns rotational energy into thermal energy, it loses rotational speed. so a tidally locked planet has already fulfilled it's heating potential and cannot be heated further by tides. that is why most moons don't get tidal heating, because thay are tidally locked already, such as our moon. titan and europa are unique because they are *NOT* tidally locked to their parent bodies.

is it possible that titan has a denser core, or the gasses on titan are heavier. thus allowing more gas to cling to its surface? intresting idea even if it's impossible
@Lemonickous 8 жыл бұрын
It was slightly confusing the atmosphere part of explanation because you were talking about how big and thick and dense it is, even though earth's gravity is greater, so its atmosphere should be denser. But we can see through the earth's atmosphere. The difference then must be the composition. So I feel that's when you should have mentioned the methane...

What I'm confused about is whether the Titan in Avengers Infinity War is the Titan from Sol system. The Guardian's ship should be able to do in system travel with little effort if it regularly travels between systems. So how come their fuel didn't get them to Earth? Is the MCU Titan in a different system? These are the answers I need.

@feralcrafter7043 8 жыл бұрын
So it's a re-upload, but .. Did any one mention that methane is a by product of biological compounds breaking down by bacteria? When you spectral graph (a way of reading the exact wave lengths of light) the light that passes through an atmosphere you can pick out methane as one of them, which means there is biological life there. Therefore, the real question is "who farted" This applies to any planet which passes between us and another sun no matter how far away. The means if it's carbon based life form, we can see which planets actually have life at many light years away. As for intelligent life, we still are looking for that here on Earth.
