[@rexdalit3504]

ps W. Reid Thompson did a PhD thesis with Sagan in which he predicted "free surface liquid" and rain on Titan, based on his models of Titans atmosphere. The rain and surface liquid being mostly nitrogen, methane, and ethane, with many other minor chemical components. Unfortunately, Reid died way too young, but I believe he would have truly enjoyed this video.

[@joeallen9104]

If Titan was 'defrosted' then its atmosphere would be quickly stripped away. The only reason that Titan is able to hold onto its atmosphere despite its weak gravity (1.352 m/s2, compared to our moon's gravity: 1.62 m/s2) is its extreme distance from the sun. As a result the atmospheric molecules have less energy and therefore move slowly enough for Titan's meagre gravity to hold onto them. Heating up Titan would excite those molecules, meaning they would move faster and as such Titan would no longer be able to retain its iconic atmosphere, and bringing an end to it's 'favourable' conditions.

[@Sebastianmaz615]

11:45 reminded me of the scene in "2010: A Space Odyssey" when the black monolith (I think) states, "of all these worlds leave Europa alone." That's not verbatim, but close. Too bad we aren't advanced enough to be able to go to Titan & look around like we can with the Sahara or Antarctica! Damn.

[@iksarguards]

WF B3 “All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together. Use them in peace.”

Great video! Only one thing, AFAIK, near the end of the life of our Sun, not only its size will be bigger, but the luminosity too. So it's not just because the more close surface of the Sun will cause more heat for Titan, but (and maybe more importantly) its increased "output power" as well. Sadly not for a very long time (well, "long" for human scales, that's true ... but not so long for life to evolve maybe ...), as you stated too ... Certainly I can be wrong here, just this is how I know, as a "hobby fan" of science, nothing more :) And btw, sorry for my lame English.

[@Jacksonace1]

Dumb question: If titan has a solid core, how does it still have an atmosphere? Wouldn't that mean there is no magnetic field protecting the atmosphere from solar winds and all that?

[@SEA]

Titan gets protected from solar wind by Saturn’s magnetic field, as it orbits within the vicinity of that so doesn’t need its own field to deflect rays

Hypothetically, aside from appearing larger, if you swapped out our moon for Titan, what would happen?

[@joeallen9104]

Titan's atmosphere would quickly boil off, its ice would soon melt and then boil off in turn. Our region of the solar system is too close to the sun for any object to maintain any bodies of ice or water unless protected by magnetic field and atmosphere. Also we would have weaker tides, as despite its larger size, Titan has a weaker gravity than our own moon.

[@danielalvarez8729]

At 2:30 of the video you say that Titan appears bigger than Ganymede due to its atmosphere. If that's the case then Jupiter is not 87,000 miles in diameter but instead it's just about 10,000 to 20,000 miles. This is because its solid core is about 10,000 to 20,000 miles in diameter. That means its atmosphere is about 33,000 to 43,000 miles above the surface. But we don't take into account Jupiters atmosphere. Nor do we take into account the atmosphere of Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Based on this train of thought none of these gas giants are the size that we all know them to be. But if we still say, that Jupiter is 87,000 miles in diameter including its atmosphere then we must also conclude that the atmosphere is every bit Titan as the rocky surface is of Titan. So from that I must believe that Titan is bigger in diameter than Ganymede. Perhaps Titans rocky surface isn't as big in diameter as Ganymede but its atmosphere does count as part of Titan which makes Titan bigger in Diameter than Ganymede. So with that in mind. The Earth is said to be 7,926 miles in diameter. The clouds can reach the upper atmosphere of Earth at 11 miles. So does this mean that the Earth is 7,948 miles in diameter instead of 7,926 as previously thought?

[@deusexaethera]

4:13 - I don't know if the orbital period of a moon is referred to as a "year", but regardless of what it may officially be called, I think the best informal name is "month" instead of "year". Our benchmark for such things is _our_ Moon, and our Moon's orbital period was our original definition of a month. Even now that we use a solar calendar instead of a lunar calendar, the reason our solar calendar is divided into 12 months is because that's the nearest-whole-number of lunar orbital periods in a solar year.

What people fail to realize is Saturn's immense magnetic field and radiation. I don't believe any kind of life could one day ever be on the surface during the red giant stage of the sun. This also is the case for Jupiter and it's moons. For life to evolve on Earth took a incredible and rare chance for all the variables to perfectly align. We may not be the only life out there but I bet it's very rare.

Moons are all well and great. In fact I feel like the best day/night view of a planet would be in the orbit of a gas giant. Imagine such a beautiful monument taking up the vast majority of the sky, always there, like its watching over the planet. But I can't wait until we can pacify the upper atmospheres of gas giants and build Cloud Cities in them. Imagine all of the space for living there is on Jupiter, or Saturn. Imagine not needing countless life-sustaining planets to sustain us, when we can just live in the clouds.
