The average surface temperature is about 90.6 K (-182.55 °C, or -296.59 °F). [2] At this temperature water ice has an extremely low vapor pressure, so the atmosphere is nearly free of water vapor. However the methane in the atmosphere causes a substantial greenhouse effect which keeps the surface of Titan at a much higher temperature than ...
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant, with an average radius of about nine times that of Earth. [27] [28] It has an eighth the average density of Earth, but is over 95 times more massive.

Titan’s surface has a temperature of minus 290 degrees, experts say. Clouds and ‘seasonal weather’ exist on Saturn’s ‘Earthlike’ moon Titan, NASA says Skip to main content
Once a difference in albedo, and hence in average temperature, was established between different regions of Iapetus, a thermal runaway process of water ice sublimation from warmer regions and deposition of water vapor onto colder regions ensued. Iapetus's present two-toned appearance results from the contrast between the bright, primarily ice ...
For example, on Saturn, the effective temperature is approximately 95 K, compared to an equilibrium temperature of about 63 K. [25] [26] This corresponds to a ratio between power emitted and solar power received of ~2.4, indicating a significant internal energy source. [26]
The average temperature of the atmosphere at Earth's surface is 14 °C (57 °F; 287 K) ... (Jupiter and Saturn), notably water vapor, methane and ammonia.
Saturn is moving into Pisces on March 7, 2023, and it's the most important astrological shift of the year. An astrologer shares what that means for your sign.
