Quick Answer

Titan is Saturn’s largest moon and the only moon in the Solar System with a thick atmosphere.

The Full Story

Titan is larger than the planet Mercury and has a dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere with methane playing a major role in its weather. It is the only moon known to have stable surface liquids, though those are lakes and seas of methane and ethane rather than water. NASA’s Cassini-Huygens mission revealed rivers, dunes, and methane rain on Titan. Because of its complex chemistry, Titan is one of the most intriguing worlds for studying prebiotic conditions.
