Which moon has the thickest atmosphere?

Quick Answer

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has the thickest atmosphere of any moon. Its nitrogen-rich atmosphere is denser than Earth's at the surface.

The Full Story

Titan is unusual because it is the only moon with a dense, thick atmosphere comparable in some ways to a planet's. It is dominated by nitrogen, with methane as a minor but important component. The atmospheric pressure at Titan's surface is about 1.5 times Earth's. That thick air creates haze, weather and methane lakes, making Titan one of the most Earth-like worlds in appearance.
