Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, and the second-largest moon in the solar system after Jupiter's moon Ganymede. It is an icy world with a thick atmosphere, and is the only moon in the solar system with a significant atmosphere.

Titan's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, with small amounts of methane and other gases. The surface of Titan is covered by a layer of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, which give it a dark orange color. The moon has numerous features such as lakes, rivers, and even seas, but they are not composed of water, but rather liquid hydrocarbons such as methane and ethane.

Titan has been the subject of intense scientific interest since the arrival of the Cassini spacecraft in 2004, which has sent back detailed images and data about the moon. The data has revealed a complex and dynamic world with a rich geology and weather patterns, including rain, snow, and winds. The unique properties of Titan's atmosphere and surface make it a potentially habitable world, and it has been proposed as a target for future exploration and even colonization.
