Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, and was introduced to Orbiter with Orbiter 2002. It is the second largest moon in the Solar System and boasts an atmosphere about 1.45 as dense as that of Earth. Titan was discovered on 25 March 1655 by Christiaan Huygens who named it Saturni Luna, but the name Titan was applied John Herschel and that name stuck.

Titan in Orbiter

Titan orbits Saturn about once every 1.6 Earth days at a distance of 10.5 Saturn diameters. It is tidally locked to Saturn, the same face toward Saturn.
