Titan is the tenth-largest object in the solar system, including the Sun. Titan is larger than the planet Mercury and more massive than Pluto, in many significant ways, it resembles a planet more than it does a typical moon.
Titans thick cloud atmosphere due to a dense organonitrogen haze as we can choose to view it unclouded.

Titan takes 15 days and 22 hours to complete a full orbit of Saturn. Titan is also tidally locked in synchronous rotation with Saturn, meaning that, like Earth’s Moon, Titan always shows the same face to the planet as it orbits.
Sixth moon ever discovered, after Earth's Moon with Galilean moons of Jupiter.
Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system. Only Jupiter's moon Ganymede is larger, by just 2 percent.

Formed not from it's near planet orbit like Earth, Titan’s atmosphere hints that the moon was formed not from leftover material, but from the same gas and dust that formed the Sun. This evidence comes from the Nitrogen-14 and Nitrogen-15 in locked inside Titan’s atmosphere.
Titan is actually larger than the planet Mercury and is almost as large as Mars.

Titan is the only known moon with a significant atmosphere, its atmosphere is our only nitrogen-rich dense atmosphere in the Solar System aside from Earth's.
Titan's atmosphere periodically rains liquid methane and other organic compounds onto its surface.

Titan was discovered on March 25, 1655, by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. Huygens was inspired by Galileo's discovery of Jupiter's four largest moons in 1610 with his improvements pioneering telescope technology.
