28 cze 2012 · Near the middle of Titan's orbit around Saturn (quadrature), there is still sufficient pull to cause a gravitational distortion, or deviation from a spherical shape. Tides on Titan raised by Saturn's gravity can be as high as 30 feet (10 meters).

- Titan: Facts
At the surface of Titan, the atmospheric pressure is about 60 percent greater than on Earth—roughly the same pressure a person would feel swimming about 50 feet (15 meters) below the surface in theocean on Earth.
25 kwi 2016 · Titan is larger than Earth's Moon, so your observation about its surface gravity means Titan must be less dense than the Moon. Wikipedia confirms: $R_\text{Titan} = 1.5 R_\text{Moon}$, but $\rho_\text{Moon} = 3.34\rm\,g/cm^3$ while Titan has only $\rho_\text{Titan} = 1.88\rm\,g/cm^3$.

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).
6 gru 2012 · Thinner ice would mean there’s more liquid water beneath the poles, which is denser and thus would exert a stronger gravitational pull… exactly what’s been found in Cassini’s measurements.
21 cze 2020 · Titan is indeed tidally locked to Saturn. Numerical calculation shows Titan's tides due to Saturn's gravity is 400 times as strong as Moon's tidal effect on Earth. Saturn's gravitational pull on Titan varies as Titan orbits along an elliptical path around the planet every 16 days.
