Titan has a radius of about 1,600 miles (2,575 kilometers), and is nearly 50 percent wider than Earth’s moon. Titan is about 759,000 miles (1.2 million kilometers) from Saturn, which itself is about 886 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers) from the Sun, or about 9.5 astronomical units (AU).
28 cze 2012 · Saturn's gravitational pull on Titan, its largest moon, varies as Titan orbits along an elliptical path around the planet every 16 days. As Titan nears the closest point in its orbit around Saturn (pericenter), it feels the maximum gravitational pull.
Gravity and orbital data suggest that Titan is an ocean world, which implies differentiation into a hydrosphere and a rocky core. The mass and gravity data complemented by equations of state constrain the ocean density and composition as well as the hydrosphere thickness.
30 sie 2018 · Titan has a diameter of 5151 km and is the second largest moon of the Solar System after Jupiter’s Ganymede (5270 km of diameter). It’s actually larger than one of our planets, Mercury (4880 km) and not so much smaller than Mars (6780 km).
Titan is one of seven gravitationally rounded moons of Saturn and the second-most distant among them. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, Titan is 50% larger in diameter than Earth's Moon and 80% more massive.

12 mar 2010 · Titan’s gravity field is estimated from the spacecraft’s range rate, measured to an accuracy up to 7.5 × 10 −5 m/s at 60-s integration times from the Doppler shift of the microwave carrier used in the radio link to the ground.
