The rain on Saturn's Titan moon is methane
The results of this analysis are based on the Cassini probe findings during 2004-2010.
'It took centuries for Titan to rain. Each time, the rainfall is tens of centimeters, even several meters, 'said Dr. Ralph Lorenz, working at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL) in Maryland.
'This is consistent with very deep rivers that observers Cassini and Huygen observed' , he added.
According to scientists, along with Earth, Titan is the only place in the solar system that falls on a solid surface. Wind and rain created on this moon's surface, rivers, sand dunes and 'coast'.
Titanium surface is very cold with average temperature of -179 degrees C. 'Water' on Titan is liquid hydrocarbon, and rain is methane.
