Saturn's largest satellite, Titan, is distinctive because it has a thick atmosphere composed mainly of nitrogen and methane. This atmosphere is denser than Earth's and creates a greenhouse effect. Unlike most moons in the solar system, Titan is the only one known to have a significant atmosphere and surface liquids in the form of lakes and rivers.

The Moon is the natural satellite of the Earth, so the person who discovered it was probably Ugghhh, the First Caveman.
