Quick Answer
Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, has the thickest atmosphere of any moon in the Solar System. Its dense nitrogen-rich air is even thicker at the surface than Earth’s by pressure.
The Full Story
Titan is unique among moons because it possesses a substantial atmosphere. Its surface pressure is about 1.5 times Earth’s, and the atmosphere is mostly nitrogen with a significant amount of methane. This thick air creates clouds, winds, and a methane-based weather cycle with lakes and rain on the surface. Titan’s atmosphere makes it one of the most Earth-like worlds in some respects, while still being radically different in temperature and chemistry.
