It has a thick, dense atmosphere that is almost entirely nitrogen, like 98%. It is one of only four celestail bodies with a thick atmosphere: earth, Venus, Mars, and Saturn's moon Titan. Other planets or moons have very thin, wispy atmospheres about 1/800,000 that of earth's, but these are nothing more than trace gases and not a true atmosphere.

The temperature could be as low as 95 K.
If you are interested in Titan, "the best", really the best place is the home of the ESA's Huygens probe that landed on Titan and new information from the Cassini spacecraft.

Methane lakes. Ethane snow. Sand dunes. Superb material!
