Script -
886 million miles from the sun, you can find the mysterious planet-like moon, Titan. It is larger than the smallest planet, Mercury and orbits around the magnificent gas giant, Saturn. But What makes this moon so different and interesting, is that it has a dense atmosphere and is the only object other than earth where large bodies of surface liquid can be found. So if one day in the future humans have developed the technology needed to travel to and explore this strange moon, what would it be like to stand on the surface of Titan? The space-exploring astronauts wouldn't need special pressurised suits to stand on Titan as the surface pressure is about 60% greater than Earths, which would make it feel similar to being at the bottom of a swimming pool. However, they would require a suit that protected them from the extremely frigid temperatures that average at minus 179 degrees Celsius (-290 degrees Fahrenheit). They would also require oxygen masks to allow them to breathe, as the atmosphere on Titan is mainly nitrogen and methane, with small amounts of other carbon-rich compounds. The gravity on Titan is very low, around 14 percent that of Earths, which means the astronauts would feel much lighter, much like standing on our own neighbouring moon. Looking across the surface of Titan, the astronauts would see a fairly flat landscape, that lacks huge craters or towering mountains. Instead, vast regions of tall dunes composed of hydrocarbon grains and rocks made of water ice would be seen spread far and wide. But the most interesting sight would be the flowing liquid methane and ethane rivers that have carved channels in surface and lead to huge Lakes, with shorelines and islands visible in the distance. Looking up into the sky, the astronauts would see a thick covering of cloud, that would be a hazy orange colour during the Titan day. If the landing site was on the side of Titan that permanently faced Saturn, then the massive gas planet would be visible as a hazy blur behind the moons thick dense atmosphere. Titan doesn't experience much when it comes to weather events, but occasionally the thick clouds would rumble like a thunderstorm here on Earth and the heavens would open allowing liquid methane to rain down on to the brave Titan explorers. So this strange alien planet like the moon has many interesting characteristics and also is one of the least hostile places for humans in the outer solar system. Making it a perfect destination for future space exploring humans.

Hi! Some of you that have been subscribed to my channel for a long time might remember that I have already made a video about standing of Titan. But due to an issue with the original version (uploaded back in 2016) I have had to remake it.
So if you have some free time, please give it a view. Thanks and I hope you enjoy it!
V101 Science i was about to comment on that but then i saw this
You make fantastic videos, keep up the good work.
Idiot Titan doesnt have mountains or any land like shown in this video its all ice and lakes.
Titan is better
Earth is bigger than titan
Well Thankyou For Showing My Big Titan
Hi saturn
I get depressed knowing that I will never get to stand on this amazing world. It would be an incredible experience to see a Titan shoreline with Saturn in the sky. Maybe a drone will be sent there and offer a VR experience for us here on Earth before I die. I hope!
Yeah it's so cool having Saturn visibly in all its glory like that in the sky, that really seems like a marvellous experience.
NASA has approved a drone, Dragonfly for deployment to Titan in 2026. It will arrive in 2034 and do several surveys of the area.
Professor_Tickles 92 hope i’m still alive to see that :,)
I really hope that when we die our soul allow us to travel anywhere without the consequence of having body, that would be awesome..
@@irvancrocs1753 same
Now obsessed with Titan, thanks.

@@philosopheriq2856 I know that, I already watched it.
@@philosopheriq2856 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I DIND WHATCH THAT SHIT
GojiKing 54 titan was like most planets
philosopher IQ yea he did
*80% talking about Thanos*
*17% making jokes*
*3% saying about the moon*
Titan: *Am i a joke to U?*
All of titans siblings:yes
Titan:I hate you all...
Saturn nextdoor:ŚĆŘĚĚĘĔÊĘËĔ
The letter U: yes
i get so sad when there is less than a minute left while watching
i'm tearing up
No! Bad Steven Utter! No flame baiting. Shoo!
I know. Seeing the home of thanos is beautiful.
I love the Earth. Lets take care of it
Fuck yeah lets do it
Hell no imma nuke it
im sick of earth i want to go yo a new planet
@@chadangeles3856 Earth is not the problem. It's never hurt you. Its the people on it you have to watch out for.
@@cyb8490 it will still be here long after you do whatever you think you have to do Dr Evil.
Fun fact: in 5 billion years, when the sun becomes a red giant, titan will be warm enough to start life on it.
And people want us to move to Mars when that happens
watch out for Thanos.
Yosh Monster This does put a smile on my face
Dread it run from it destiny still arrives all the same
I hope they remember you
xD
finaly battle is coming.... CAPTAIN MARVEL BREE POWER BABY!!!!
I hope we go there in our life time. At least send something like a rover
SaturnSunset NASA plans to send a submarine to Titan and explore the body’s of water.
They have
There are many plans and concepts to visit Titan again. However, everyone only has eyes for Mars.
Lèmmark I understand the reason for mars, but it would be nice if they focused more on titan or Europa where life’s even more likely
SaturnSunset Their major reasons for not going to the gas giants' moons are usually:
- It's too far way;
- Not so important than Mars (I don't think so);
- Not enough budget;
- We don't have such technology (in case of colonization - ok, that's an acceptable statement).
I think we need to upgrade our rockets and space probes to arrive quicly in less time, especially on these moons.
There was a plan to send a lander to Europa (Jupiter's moon), but unfortunately was canceled by Donald Trump.

Beautiful, awe-inspiring, thanks a lot for this video!
I never thought I would say this here, but there are endgame spoilers below.
I salute you for your profile pic and username
Thank you so much for these videos. Really appreciate being able to feed my curiosity 👏
Another awesome video! Thank you so much for this!
Fascinating place. Great video as usual. Do more on other moons
It will probably NEVER happen unless Russia or China says that they want to go there FIRST!
will not happen sometime in the 2100's and we will be long dead by then. our great great great grand children may be around when it happens.
Ikr
@@CK2012 thats like 1 generation tho....
Or the private space sector grows. That brings a lot of competition. And it is growing at the moment, so maybe be a little more optimistic. Not saying there will be a base on Titan, but maybe on mars. And maybe commercial space stations.
@@CK2012 noooooo
Titan is the perfect definition of an alien world!
Philosophia Entis that’s why thanos lives on titan
There are 500 more solar systems , alien life is present for sure
@@Rahul-yx8vk no there's hundreds of billions of solar systems in our galaxy alone
@@Rahul-yx8vk bro theirs WAY more than 500 damn Galaxies lmao a number can't even sum the amount. Outterspace is trillions of lightyears across. If you were to expand out of outterspace, it would keep going
I love the videos keep up the hard work
Great vid man.
So Titan is actually the most Earth-like body in the system, with it's thick atmosphere, clouds, lakes, rains, rivers and dunes
And it has a crazy humanoid being that deleted Half the universe

@@rubeneduardooseguedagomez8303 thanos?
Titan no oxygen no water no correct pressure no correct temperature then how we live there
@peterbrother I am from india you? Only one heaven in humans that is earth only one hell that is also our earth no way to live other planet in naturaly living place in always
I am so glad you changed your intro animation! When you zoomed out from earth, that was scary! lol!
I clicked so fast that broke my mouse
@Roberlan Fernandez probably used hotkeys.
Titan might serve as a template for what Earth like exomoons could be like, just raise the temperatures, make the surface rocky and change the atmospheric composition and you'd pretty much have an Earth like or at least semi Earth like moon!
Hi! Love your channel! Just realized I’m first to click on this lol
This is awesome!
Nice! More of Titan, Europe and Enceledous! Love these!
Enceladus
@@Natearl13 probably means Europa.
YES!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR THIS ONE
I find this so cool it’s my goal to study or go to planets/space
I really enjoy your mini documentaries. They are soothing, interesting and nice to watch.
I love your channel bro it's my favourite please keep these what would it be like to stand on planet videos coming I really enjoy it all
You should post more often. I clicked the video so hard I think my computer has cancer. Plz post more often ur videos r interesting
wtf lmao
Sometimes your narration gives me goosebumps 😚😚
Interesting video !!!!
Don't forget the other video of Planet 9
A lake of methane eh.
Looks like Titan need some freedom.
You forgot to mention that if human equipped wings, one could fly up to altitude of 600m, where it equals 1atm pressure on Titan.
Oh? Titan! That's where I'm going for vacation.
I really hope we get to see Titan up close (photographs) in my life time. Get a rover and a sub there!
There was a probe sent there in 2005.
How about a drone? ;-)
Thank you !
I just wish i could go there to just see the view of Saturn in the sky from the ground im standing
Bro please make a video about time travel . Is it possible or not and if possible then how can we achieve it n all. Will be waiting for it.
Still waiting in that part 2 of that planet 9 video
Titan is essentially a planet
Only Iron Man and Nebula is mourning there.... and nothing else
You know it is not this titan.
@Ali_SafaPlayz in the comics, yes, but in the MCU the home of Thanos is the Planet Titan.
@@sambenyamin It's a Joke Lmao
Everytime i complain about life, i need to look through these to be thankful atleast we have a planet to live on
Home of the eternals.
Titan should be our priority in solar system exploration.
So low gravity but feel pressure same as the bottom of a swimming pool ..I cant imagine how that feels
A beautiful view .o.
Was that the Sulaco from Aliens i seen coming into frame there? 🤔 lol
I wait for ur videos bro.. Btw nice video.. Love from india
I love Titan definitely one of the more interesting objects in our Solar System.
135th like and no dislikes so far 👌🏾👌🏾
i like how saturn has its own moon like a kid
Second ✌🏻 Awesome video as always
I really wanna go
Alina naqvi, pack an extra jumper.
Great video, but I’m pretty sure you can’t see Saturn from Titan’s surface....just the same as you can’t see the surface of Titan from orbit due to the thick smoggy atmosphere.
"So, as we left the clam flowage that day . . ."
Titan is definately my favorite moon. Better than ours imo. 🟠range is my favorite color so I'd be in haven. Thanks V101 Science! Keep these coming my guy! I'm a fan.
You forgot a fishing net to catch the slippery silicon based sentient squids living in the methane lakes.
Netflix already landed their actor in there
if humans will live at TITAN the titan will be the planet and the saturn will be the moon LMAO
i'm trying to visualize lower gravity and higher surface pressure than earth. so you would feel heavy, but could still move lightly?
You would feel increased pressure and feel lighter in weight, just like being under water.
The low gravity would likely make the atmosphere feel lighter.
@Donald Glover Certainly the low gravity would mean the atmosphere wouldn't be pushing as hard on you as it would under Earth gravity, but then again, the sheer thickness of Titan's atmosphere might cancel that out.
Also, Titan's atmosphere is much denser than Earth, this combined with the low gravity would enable flight without motors. You'd actually feel quite light on Titan, despite the higher pressures.
You would feel pressure around you like your underwater, but you would feel lighter kind of like your under water but more manuverable without water might I add
Cool.
Meethane! TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S METHANE
Lol
It would be nice 👍
Ayyyy.
The picture at 2.05 is a real picture from the surface. The video should have specified that through a bit of text, just to be informative.
In a few billion years when our sun turns into a red giant then Titan would then be in the Goldie locks zone. And could then maybe support life
I like it
I’m 19. I’m hoping I got time to see the surface explored.
I would want to live on Titan. It seems like a great place to live!
Ah yes, is this where the titans came from?
Offtopic but I just realized how beautiful 🌎 is
Imagine, in a few hundred years, somebody could possibly be standing on that moon. That would be so crazy.
1 million years in the future:
5 year old: daddy we go swimming
Dad: let’s go swim on Titan
You forgot to mention that the light would be very dim.
Is this a re-upload or am I mad?
Where's Zavala?
AB Technology At The Tower lol
We may not survive on Titan. At least half of the people will not exist anymore if they land on Titan for sure.
It just feels so depressing. If only humans understand how terrifying it would be to destroy our own Planet Earth more than we already are!..
I wanna visit my favorite moon so bad man it’s similar to earth so that’s cool
We should make a time capsule on Earth and bury it deep in this moon so ET can get a "we wuz here" experience when sun is a red giant.
Wait you’ve done this exact video before
Visited there in Infinite Warfare. It’s great btw
Visited so many times in Destiny 2
Great video. However one cannot see the surface from space, so I suspect one cannot see space from the surface. Just a dark canopy of orange PAHs. Thus the Titanian would never see Saturn.
I call it mercy
How bright would saturns reflection be on titan since its so close? would the sunlight also be very bright?
Saturn would loom large over the horizon, but the Sun would look many times smaller from that far out.
I think that if a mini individual perhaps suitcase size nuclear reactor were invented this could be used to power a heat source for astronauts in space suits in cold environments like this moon here.
They would also be able to power lights and equipment with it.
Also if the astronauts suits were made out of Kevlar at least on the inside and whatever material needed on the outside to reflect light or such they can be much safer against tears and accidents like that.
First robots must be sent though and I'm not talking little rovers that can only take as much as pics and such. Real robots that can dig and kick up dirt-for lack of a better phrase- are needed to explore both life and enviromental conditions on most planets or moons if we ever intend to land astronauts there in some distsnt future. To check the feasibility before that.
I wanna go fishing there. Think I’d catch anything?
You just caught alien fish or mermaid
When dragon fly finds oil we will be there in 2035
Titan, a frozen pint-sized Earth.
What would it be like to stand in planet nine part two? please
Thanos be trippin
Not that Titan, you fucking moron.
@@dyster6747 r/woosh
@@dyster6747 You know there's a thing called a Joke? 👀
For a planet to have a life: There are 100+ elements that must be perfectly met. And earth has all of them. It makes you think!
Least hostile... you’ve Said that right, this Moon is similliar to Earth Because its atmosphere AND its assets, if it were not so Cold IT would be considered as a gas wasteland... but still it is a good theme to be considered, sry for my IPhone’s autocorretcions
In my mind I would like to think what happened to titan if we turn saturn into star sun that will be not like our sun but probably small dwarf like start then it would be possible that titan condition would've habitable for us
What do you call a war here… ATTACK ON TITAN!
I would recommend you to watch europa report, it's a fantastic movie and 100%possible. Its available on Netflix
