What are the conditions in Titan's surface?

It has a thick, dense atmosphere that is almost entirely nitrogen, like 98%. It is one of only four celestail bodies with a thick atmosphere: earth, Venus, Mars, and Saturn's moon Titan. Other planets or moons have very thin, wispy atmospheres about 1/800,000 that of earth's, but these are nothing more than trace gases and not a true atmosphere.

there is a speculation of some eruptive volcano, because of  warmimg of pluto's atmosphere.\n\nVolcanoes on Pluto?\nJames Elliot of MIT led a team of astronomers who coordinated their observations and presented the findings today at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's (AAS) Division for Planetary Sciences in Birmingham, Ala.\n\nElliot hinted at the possibility of another factor fueling Pluto's warming trend.\n\nHe compared Pluto to Triton, a moon of Neptune. Both have atmospheres made mostly of nitrogen. In 1997, Triton occulted a star and astronomers found that its atmosphere had warmed since the last observations were made in 1989 during the Voyager mission. Back then, Voyager found dark material rising above Triton, indicating possible eruptive activity.\n\n"There could be more massive activity on Pluto, since the changes observed in Pluto's atmosphere are much more severe," Elliot said. "The change observed on Triton was subtle. Pluto's changes are not subtle."\n\nThere is no firm evidence that Pluto is volcanically active, but neither is there evidence to rule out that possibility. Even the Hubble Space Telescope can barely make out Pluto's surface.\n\nElliot added that the process affecting Pluto's temperature is complex. "We just don't know what is causing these effects," he said.\n \nGuess we will have to wait  as Tentative mission plans call for a robotic probe that would not reach Pluto for several years, making a flyby sometime prior to 2020 prior to investigating other objects deeper in the solar system.

What sort of features are you hoping to see? An 80mm would be enough to see the red spot on Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. It probably won't make out the Cassini division in the rings, though.  You should also be able to see cloud bands on Jupiter. When looking at Mars, you might be ble to see some dark splotches during excellent seeing conditions, but Mars is a hard object for everyone. The most you will ever see on Venus is the phase because the clouds obscure everything else. Mercury is a hard object and is way too small to see anything. Uranus will be a blue dot as will Neptune. You won't see Pluto.\n\nI hope this helps!

Crust, Mantle and Core\nCrust \n\nScientists suspect that the average thickness of the Martian crust is about 30 miles (50 kilometers). Most of the northern hemisphere lies at a lower elevation than the southern hemisphere. Thus, the crust may be thinner in the north than in the south. \n\n\n \nThe surface of Mars was sampled for signs of life by the Viking 2 lander in 1976. A mechanical sampling arm dug the grooves near the round rock at the lower left. The cylinder at the right covered the sampling device and was ejected after landing. The cylinder is about 12 inches (30 centimeters) long. Image credit: NASA/National Space Science Data Center\n \nMuch of the crust is probably composed of a volcanic rock called basalt (buh SAWLT). Basalt is also common in the crusts of Earth and the moon. Some Martian crustal rocks, particularly in the northern hemisphere, may be a form of andesite. Andesite is also a volcanic rock found on Earth, but it contains more silica than basalt does. Silica is a compound of silicon and oxygen. \n\nMantle \n\nThe mantle of Mars is probably similar in composition to Earth's mantle. Most of Earth's mantle rock is peridotite (PEHR uh DOH tyt), which is made up chiefly of silicon, oxygen, iron, and magnesium. The most abundant mineral in peridotite is olivine (OL uh veen). \n\nThe main source of heat inside Mars must be the same as that inside Earth: radioactive decay, the breakup of the nuclei of atoms of elements such as uranium, potassium, and thorium. Due to radioactive heating, the average temperature of the Martian mantle may be roughly 2700 degrees F (1500 degrees C). \n\nCore \n\nMars probably has a core composed of iron, nickel, and sulfur. The density of Mars gives some indication of the size of the core. Mars is much less dense than Earth. Therefore, the radius of Mars's core relative to the overall radius of Mars must be smaller than the radius of Earth's core relative to the overall radius of Earth. The radius of the Martian core is probably between 900 and 1,200 miles (1,500 and 2,000 kilometers). \n\nUnlike Earth's core, which is partially molten (melted), the core of Mars probably is solid. Scientists suspect that the core is solid because Mars does not have a significant magnetic field. A magnetic field is an influence that a magnetic object creates in the region around it. Motion within a planet's molten core makes the core a magnetic object. The motion occurs due to the rotation of the planet. \n\nData from Mars Global Surveyor show that some of the planet's oldest rocks formed in the presence of a strong magnetic field. Thus, in the distant past, Mars may have had a hotter interior and a molten core.

What is Saturn's surface temperature?\nSaturn's surface (well, its clouds) is quite cold, about –220° Fahrenheit. That is because it is so far from the sun. \n\nNOT hot at all.\n\n:)

It depends on which planet you hail from.....\nLets name the POSSIBLE looks from each planet\n-Mercury-You'll have REALLY heat resistant skin as it can go up to 900C up there.Also,cold-resistant skin 'cause it can go to negative 3 figures there.Preferably you eat ice and dust,as thats all there is up there.Also,you'd be REALLY large,to escape the Sun's pull and to counter Mercury's weak gravity.And of course,you breathe in CO2,in solid from,perferably.\n\n-Venus-You breathe in the weirdest combination of sulphur dioxide,carbon dioxide,nitrogen,and other toxic gases.Good thing is,the temperature here is hothothot!!So,you have thick skin to prevent dehydration and maybe drink from your pores to survive.Of course,powerful legs to jump over those ravines and resist the pull of Venus' powerful gravity.And eyes so tough they can take the battering of those HUGE winds,see through thick clouds of gas,and withstand concentrated sulphuric acid,as the rest of your body.\n\nEarth-We ALL know how we look like....\n\nMars-Now comes the fun part.You are really,REALLY tough to reduce your intake of fluids,as there is only ice at the poles.You can move around,but you are heavy to reduce the power of Mar's weak gravity field.Super-powered eyes to see in the darkness,and of course,you eat the powdered rust off the floor.Other than that,you most probably breathe in CO2.\n\n-Jupiter-You are small,as the planet's gravity is REALLY big.Hard-shelled to prevent you freezing,and certainly wings,as ther is no solid ground.And a good sense of navigation,preferably untrasound or infrared......to see those monster hurricanes that last for YEARS there,especially the Great Red Spot.....a hurricane the size of Earth.\n\n-Saturn-All I can say is COLD,so get out them balaclavas.Also,wings are a must,and you must keep moving ALWAYS,so that you dont get frozen solid.Liquid nitrogen froms the oceans,so you might want to take a cool dip in that.Drink it too,and breathe in nitrogen from the air,and maybe even CO2.Good thing you're small;high metabolism rate,and you can't resist that superbly powerful gravity.....\n\nNeptune-Same as Saturn\n\nPluto-Not really a planet anyways....but still,same as Saturn,except you are HUGE and you will have no wings.....\n\ngood enough??

adding to snagelfritz, there could bve life in a gas giant.  They would float on blimps, and be hunted by gliding organisms with sharp claws to tear right through them.  Several forms of life could exist in the solar system, like also on titan, there could have possibly been life, giving the fact that the atmosphere is made up of the same elements as ours!

Several:\n\nVenus. \nJupiter.\nSaturn\nNeptune.\nUranus.\n\n\nAnd some moons have clouds:\n\nJupiter's Galilean moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto have dust clouds from micrometeorites. \n\nSaturn's moon titan has methane clouds apparently.

Titan really isn't all that big.  It's not even the largest moon in the solar system!  Titan only has a radius of about 2575 miles, which is only .4 times the size of earth.  Jupiter and Saturn are much much much bigger so we can actually make out details in small telescopes, but considering the fact that Titan is just about 930 million miles away, its not surprising we can't make out much about Titan.\n\nAlso a problem with directly observing Titan is that it has such a thick atmosphere that we can't see the surface.  So we have to send things like Huygens to get underneath the clouds.

The surface temperature on Venus is 800 degrees Fahrenheit.  As a point of comparison, paper catches fire at 451 degrees Fahrenheit.  The atmospheric pressure is immense.  The atmosphere is sulfur and methane and other poisons.  It's a hard sun-baked kiln oven landscape.   Not that you could ever see the sun, the atmosphere is too thick.  The night side is practically as hot as the day side because the superheated air covers the entire planet.   Sorry, I wish Venus was the lush tropical garden that they thought it was 100 years ago.  But a few unmanned probes have landed there and sent back pictures before they melted into a little puddle.  Looks just like the inside of an oven.

Cassini itself did not land. However, it was carrying the probe Huygens, which landed on Titan.

Saturn has lots of moons, most are gas but not all, try this website www.findspace/saturn/moons.com  that is if the site is still running, I heared it may close down soon, but I went on it yesterday so it should still be there...

In a way this true in part, as most of the more volatile substances such as gases, liquids, and less dense minerals have already been scorched away leaving primarily denser rock. Thus, it has essentially no atmosphere save a trace of hydrogen (possibly owing to its proximity to the sun) and is very dense with a heavy iron core reaching very close to the surface. It rotates slowly like meat roasting over a fire with a day lasting two of its 88 Earth-day revolutions around the sun. The temperatures are indeed extreme, varying from 800 degrees during the 3 month long day to -300 degrees at night. All of this means that it has managed to reach a state of relative stability over the last 4 billion years or so and will likely continue for some time to come.

50 moons are currently confirmed, 34 of which have names. The precise figure will never be certain as the orbiting chunks of ice in Saturn's rings are all technically moons, and it is difficult to draw a distinction between a large ring particle and a tiny moon. Saturn's most noteworthy moon is Titan, the only moon in the solar system to have a dense atmosphere.\n\nThis website for confirmation and more info -->http://www.planetary.org/saturn/moons.html\n\nGod is spelled B-I-G B-A-N-G\nPBrax@netscape.com

atmosphere is created when gravity holds all the gas molecules around it, like earth's gravity is holding all the nitrogen/oxygen/water vapor/etc around it.  since the moon doesn't have as much gravity, it can't hold in the same atmosphere.  the atmosphere and humidity around a planet also absorb and hold heat.  when the sun sets on earth, the temperature doesn't change drastically, even though the sun's not providing heat anymore, because the atmosphere is hanging on to the heat it absorbed during the day.  if there is less atmosphere to absorb the heat, once the sun goes down the temperature will drop drastically.\n\nI'm not sure about the craters, but my guess is that the moon is more cratered because there's no erosion.  on a planet like earth, water and wind constantly wash across the surface and erode any irregularities like craters, so the surface is relatively smooth.  on the moon, there's no water and no wind (no atmosphere = no wind), so there's no erosion to smooth out the craters.

What confuses you about the moon? Most planets have them. Ours is old, lifeless, has a high reflectivity, and rotates once for every revolution (so we always see the same side). Why are you confused?
