Which is the most interesting moon in the solar system?

Question

I guess mine is Titan around Saturn, with an atmosphere thicker than Earth's. Also Europa!

Answer 1

There are some great answers here. Io, Titan, Enceladus, Europa --they are all very interesting. let me put in a vote for our own moon. for one thing, the moon/planet mass ratio for Moon/Earth is greater than for any other system, except Charon/Pluto (and Pluto is perhaps not really a planet anyway, but a Kuiper Belt Object). For another, having a moon at all is rare among the terrestrial planets: none for Mercury or Venus, and only two TINY moonlets for Mars. So the situation with Earth and Moon is very unusual. The Moon causes our tides and has effects of various kinds on planetary weather and life. So, it's pretty interesting too. No life on it, though, at least not until a permanent base is established there.

Answer 2

Titan, because the atmosphere most closesly resembles Earth's out of all the other moons and planets. It is also the farthest planet or moon that we have ever landed a robot on to send back pictures.

Answer 3

Enceladus is also pretty intriguing... It was recently discovered that there is surface activity revealing vast oceans beneath it's icy crust. From what we know of life on Earth, this would be one the most likely places to find life elsewhere in the solar system.

Answer 4

Probably Io with its volcanic activity. Also, a very strange looking surface, quite different from others that look more serene.

Answer 5

europa because there is a chance of life there

Answer 6

I would have to say the moon that we can see without using a telescope.....ours!

Answer 7

ours because it will be the stepping "stone" into space
