Saturn from its moon Titan
Saturn from Titan. Artwork of the planet Saturn, viewed from above its largest moon Titan. Titan's surface is ice and rock, but it has a thick atmosphere of nitrogen and organic compounds, mainly methane and ethane. This gives the moon its characteristic orange colour. The atmosphere may resemble that of a primitive Earth, containing the organic compounds from which life originated. Saturn is the second largest of the planets in the solar system, having a diameter in excess of 120,000 kilometres. It is the sixth most distant planet from the Sun.
