The Moons of Saturn

Methane sea on Saturn's moon, Titan 

Saturn has more moons than any other planet. At least 62 moons travel around Saturn. They come in a variety of sizes and compositions, from almost pure ice to rocky material, as well as a combination of both. Their journies around the ringed planet range from half an Earth day to just over four Earth years.

One of Saturn's moons, Titan, makes up 96 percent of the mass orbiting the planet and is the second largest moon in the solar system. The atmosphere on Titan is so thick, scientists have not been able to clearly photograph its surface.
