KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is an icy world whose surface is completely obscured by a golden hazy atmosphere. Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system. Only Jupiter’s moon Ganymede is larger, by just 2 percent.

Detailed explanation-2: -Titan is the only other body in our solar system on which humans could possibly live in the future. It’s the only possible destination that works similar to Earth and is the only body that has liquid on or near its surface. Titan has a thick atmosphere, stronger than Earth, that would protect us from radiation.

Detailed explanation-3: -After Giovanni Domenico Cassini published his discoveries of four more moons of Saturn between 1673 and 1686, astronomers fell into the habit of referring to these and Titan as Saturn I through V (with Titan then in fourth position). Other early epithets for Titan include “Saturn’s ordinary satellite".

Detailed explanation-4: -Titan orbits Saturn, which orbits the Sun at a distance of about 886 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers), about 10 times farther from the Sun than Earth orbits.

Detailed explanation-5: -Titan is the largest of Saturn’s 62 moons and the second largest moon in the solar system after Jupiter’s Ganymede. The radius of Titan is about 1, 600 miles making it smaller than half the size of Earth (3, 963 miles) but larger than the Earth’s moon (1, 079.6 miles).
