  1. Cool comparison, thanks for sharing!

    I did want to ask, on the third slide, what do hummocky and labyrinth mean?

  2. Needs ambient pressure, wind, surface gravity, precipitation, surface composition, atmospheric opacity, and insolation. Sidereal day would make sense as well as orbital period, and mentioning the eclipse seasons on Titan as well. And the fact that you can only see Saturn from one side of titan as it is tidally locked. Also it would make sense to compare the dry surface are of titan to the dry surface area of earth–Titan’s is about half earth’s. Mentioning the energy available in all that methane would be interesting as well.

  3. If it could be teleported to earth orbit, Titan would likely start falling apart or at least become much smaller

  4. If you include the atmosphere then Titan is actually the biggest moon.  Seems a bit of a scam to ignore the atmosphere on something like Titan.

  5. Is the fourth slide supposed to show pressure? The key is confusing. Earth has K in several places (what is K?) while Titan shows 70k, 90k, 160k … again what are those values? 🤔
