Why don't other large moons in our solar system have atmospheres like Titan?
what research have you done on this? What have you found so far?zuz said:Why don't other large moons in our solar system have atmospheres like Titan?
This would then depend on a combination of gravity and (local) surface temperature.DaveC426913 said:Below a certain size, most minor moon will have virtually no atmo simply because they lack the gravity to hang into it.
I agree it's unlikely but given how reactive oxygen is, that isn't necessarily true. It could be a modest amount that is reacting to something.Filip Larsen said:but since it gravitationally could retain some oxygen it then must mean that over time there has been no significant gaseous oxygen producing process on Titan.
True, I should probably have said net production of oxygen.phinds said:I agree it's unlikely but given how reactive oxygen is, that isn't necessarily true. It could be a modest amount that is reacting to something.
