Titan is Saturn's largest moon.
It does have an atmosphere, 98.4% nitrogen, 1.6% methane, and is of much scientific interest due to its resemblence to early earth.
It is thought liquid rivers of methane flow throughout the moon due to the cold temperatures which cause methane to liquify. This may cause geological effects such as weathering.

Actually Saturn does have a moon called Titan and its larger than Mercury and Pluto, it does have a mostly nitrogen based atmosphere and was first studied by the Voyager spacecraft. It is the largest of Saturn's moons and the second largest in the solar system behind Ganymede (jupiter). It was first discovered in 1655 and is one of 19 other moons around Saturn

No. Saturn has a moon called Titan with a _very_thick_ atmosphere.

Saturn has a moon called Titan, but it has a very substantial atmosphere. So much that it obscures the planet surface with clouds of hydrocarbons which rains down (currently in the far northern latitudes).
Cassini has been orbiting Saturn for years so there are tons of interesting pictures you can browse through.

Yeah it has!
Saturn's most noteworthy moon is Titan, the only moon in the solar system to have a dense atmosphere.

Hi. No. From the web: "Titan, the largest of the satellites of Saturn; has a hazy nitrogen atmosphere"

Titan could be waiting to help existence. yet that isn't make it a planet. A planet has to orbit the solar, not yet another planet. to illustrate, permit's say that the Earth replaced into orbiting yet another planet.... The Earth might then be a moon, yet not a planet. although, some human beings could nevertheless call the Earth a planet.
