How bright is it on the surface of Titan?

Just looking at distance first, Titan (based on Saturn’s distance) averages 9.6 AU from the sun, or about 1/91st as bright as the sun appears from Earth, assuming equal atmospheres.

What would Titans sky look like?

The sky of Titan Titan is the only moon in the Solar System to have a thick atmosphere. Images from the Huygens probe show that the Titanean sky is a light tangerine color. However, an astronaut standing on the surface of Titan would see a hazy brownish/dark orange color.

How dark is it on the surface of Titan?

means sunlight on Titan’s cloud tops is about 1/100 that on Earth’s. That’s 4000 times the illumination of Earth’s moon. Titan’s atmosphere is described as opaque smog. If it were 99.97\% opaque the surface would still be illuminated like a full moon.

Can you see the sun on Titan?

One AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun. Light from the Sun takes about 80 minutes to reach Titan; because of the distance, sunlight is about 100 times fainter at Saturn and Titan than at Earth.

What would Titan smell like?

A bouquet of musky sweetness, bitter almonds, gasoline, and decomposing fish would likely fill the air on Saturn’s largest satellite. Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is a dynamic world with a dense atmosphere, hydrocarbon lakes, and lots of different smells.

Is Saturn visible from Titan?

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest natural satellite in the Solar System. From Titan’s surface, Saturn subtends an arc of 5.09 degrees and, were it visible through the moon’s thick atmosphere, would appear 11.4 times larger in the sky than the Moon from Earth.

Can you see Saturn from Titan?

Titan’s atmosphere is really thick and hazy, so it would be difficult to see clearly the Sun and Saturn. The view at “sea” level on Titan is probably a brownish diffuse sky, but at several kilometers high, on a “clear” day, you could perhaps have this kind of amazing view between the clouds.
