Ice towers on Titan, artwork. Titan is the largest moon of Saturn. It has an atmosphere of nitrogen with dense clouds of hydrocarbons that are thought to form liquid oceans on the surface. Titan is a long way from the Sun and the surface temperatures can reach minus 183 degrees Celsius, causing the formation of hydrocarbon ices, as seen here. This is a sea of liquid methane with methane icebergs floating on the surface.
