Titan's atmosphere more Earth-like than previously thought

London: Saturn's moon Titan's atmosphere could bear more similarity to the Earth's atmosphere than previously thought, researchers from the University College London (UCL) say. The UCL team analysed data gathered over seven years by the international Cassini probe and found that the interactions between Titan's atmosphere and the solar magnetic field and radiation create a wind of hydrocarbons and nitriles being blown away from its polar regions into space.
This is very similar to the wind observed coming from the Earth's polar regions. Like the Earth and Venus, and unlike any other moon, Titan has a rocky surface and a thick atmosphere. It is the only object in the solar system apart from the Earth to have rivers, rainfall and seas, and it is bigger than the planet Mercury.
