There is a magnetic field because nasa used their orbiter to see how strong it was. The electromagnetic field isn't as strong as Earths

We learned that Saturn has a lot of moons,and Saturn's moon Enceladus is one of the only moon that could have microbial life. Titan, Saturn's largest moon has an internal liquid water-ammonia ocean. Titan has pebbles that may be made of water ice. Also there is plastic in Titans atmosphere. ]]> 2016-11-28 17:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140267071 The lakes on Titan caelm2021 https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140267131  The lakes on Titan are bodies of liquid ethane and methane.

Aquifers on titan are like a well. The water is sort of surrounded by rock. There is two parts where the water can 'leave'. it can soak into the ground or evaporate into the air. ]]> 2016-11-28 17:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140267344 Rain kylieb2021 https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140267390 The rain on the moon Titan is made of Methane. It rains by drizzling methane in the mornings, and it dose not just rain heavy or all day. For us a morning on Titan would last about three days. So it takes 15 days for the moon to fully orbit, the mornings last three days. So it rains every 3 days out of 15 to us, if we are think about our days and not the moons days.]]> 2016-11-28 17:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140267390 mountians mckennas2021 https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140267428 scientists have found mountains on titan and say they are most likely made of water and ice and are relatively small in height]]> 2016-11-28 17:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140267428 River/Canyons adrianw2021 https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140267553 Canyons can be less than half a mile and the slopes are steeper than 40 degrees.

Xanadu has more impact craters than any other region surveyed by Cassini so far, but the distribution of these craters appears to be very irregular. This means that the age of Xanadu varies depending on the location. 
How many craters on Titan 
Scientists analyzed images taken by the spacecraft’s high-resolution Radar Mapper instrument, and found 49 impact craters.The remaining 44 craters were classified as Class 2 (nearly certain impact craters) and Class 3 (probable impact craters).

Thus causing tides to recede and subside. The moon is roughly 250,000 miles from the earth, but titan is roughly 1,000,000 miles from Saturn. Saturn has a stronger gravitational pull than Earth. Thus meaning that is still plausible that titan can have tides. mylesm2021 https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140575037 2016-11-29 17:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140575037 Orbit around Saturn. perryf2021 https://padlet.com/ken_guffey/femhciyjvx88/wish/140575193 -Describe the orbit of Titan around Saturn. How long does it take?
Titan makes 1 full orbit around Saturn in 15 days and 22 hrs.

-Does Saturn eclipse the Sun?

Saturn does not obscure view of the sun from titan.
