STUDIED PLANETS AND MOONS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
ANAYLYSIS
OF
TITAN
Out of the 146 moons, Titan is by far the largest and most fascinating moon. Titan's unique properties make it a hotspot for scientific research. Besides Earth, Titan holds the most promising conditions for potential life, housing a dense atmosphere and lakes of methane and ammonia.
Titan also finds itself inside the protection of Saturn's electromagnetic field, shielding the moon from harmful outside radiation, further increasing the chances for life.
These characteristics make Titan an intriguing world for research and exploration.
On the surface, Titan transforms into an entirely different world. Its icy and rocky features, with strong monsoons and seas of cold methane make the moon appear straight from science fiction.
Many of the features of the surface are similar to Earth's, with hills and rock formations, as well as glaciars covering the moon.
Titan's surface gravity is 1.352 m/s² (14% of Earth's gravity).
Titan's air pressure is around 1.5 bars, or 21 psi (50% higher than Earth's sea-level pressure).
One day on Titan is 380.8 hours.
Titan's atmospheric wind speed is <1m/s² (wind speed can vary)
Titan's surface holds rivers, lakes, seas, and ponds of liquid methane and ethane, with a possibility of an ocean of ammonia underneath the surface.
ANAYLYSIS
OF
EARTH
Earth, the cradle of human civilization and the only known planet with life in the universe. Earth is perhaps the most unique and exotic celestial body in our solar system, home to 8 billion souls.
Earth has a single moon, and orbits the sun in the goldilocks zone, enabling the existence of organic life. It also houses a dense atmosphere, along with a considerable surface gravity and powerful electromagnetic shield.
These properties allow us to call the blue marble our home.
Earth has a considerable unique surface. The atmosphere is comprised of various gasses, including nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other trace elements.
The actual surface of the earth depends on the location. Over 2/3 of the planet is covered in water. The continents vary in their natural environments. There exist a variety terrains, such as deserts, tundra, forests, plains, mountains, hills, and such.
Earth's surface gravity is 9.81 m/s².
Earth's air pressure is 1 bars, or 14.7 psi.
Earth's axial tilt is 23.44 degrees, causing our seasons.
A day on Earth is 24 hours.
Earth's atmosphere is comprised of 78.08% Nitrogen, 20.95% Oxygen, 0.93% Argon, 0.04% Carbon Dioxide, and other trace gasses.
Earth's surface holds oceans, lakes, rivers, and seas of salt and fresh water. It's continents are a mixture of rocky, desert, hills, mountains, plains, and such.
ANAYLYSIS
OF
SATURN
Saturn is the 6th planet away from the sun and having a similar atmosphere to Jupiter. While although its atmosphere is not ad dense due to its gaseous properties its atmosphere still contains a high ambient pressure. However, compared to Earth Titan, Saturn has an ambient pressure thousands of times greater and increases the further you enter the planet.
Saturn has 146 moons in orbit which is more than any planet in the solar system.
This ringed gas giant has little potential of life due to its extreme conditions, storms, and temperature.
Since Saturn is a gas giant it does contain a surface with the planet mainly consisting of swirling fluids. However, if a spacecraft were to enter into the depths of Saturn then the extreme pressures and temperature will crush, melt, and vaporize any spacecraft.
Saturn's atmosphere is comprised of approximately 96.3% hydrogen and 3.2% helium with traces of other substances.
Winds in the upper atmosphere are around 500 m/s.
Saturn's atmospheric pressure on the surface is 1 bar, just like Earth's. Although, as you venture deeper, the pressure rapidly increases.
Saturn is a gas giant, so it has no defined surface. The defined surface is set at the level in which the atmospheric pressure matches Earth's.
The density of Saturn is: 0.687g/c^3
The gravity of Saturn is: 11.19m/s^2
