Orbit from mean elements
Titan is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit around saturn at the simulation time (a = 1,221,870 km, e = 0.0288, i = 0.3°, period 15.9 d).
Saturn's largest moon. Only moon with a dense atmosphere and liquid lakes on its surface.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Titan is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit around saturn at the simulation time (a = 1,221,870 km, e = 0.0288, i = 0.3°, period 15.9 d).
Titan is presented using measured atmosphere; display-bounded aerosol scattering data.
Titan: mean radius 2,574.7 km. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
Orange haze approximates the visible atmosphere. Choose Infrared surface for the Cassini ISS 938 nm mosaic (2004–2014); it is not visible-light color.
Cassini ISS 938 nm, 2004–2014. Brightness-normalized near-infrared mosaic, not visible-light color or elevation. The publisher’s uniform gray coverage gap is marked gray-blue; visible haze obscures the surface.
The short description and the fact list are written by the Space Time authors for orientation. They are not quoted from a catalog field and carry no citation of their own.
