Abstract
- The article features Titan, the largest satellite of planet Saturn. A brief historical overview of Titan's discovery is discussed. It explores relevant information brought by the Cassini Huygens mission showing Titan's remarkable Earth-like meteorology. Particular focus is given to Titan's significant atmosphere and landscapes and the resemblance to the Earth's greenhouse climate. It also analyzes the changing cloud patterns of Titan which shows equal basic physical processes as of the Earth.
