There are lakes and rivers of liquid hydrocarbons, and evidence of a cycle of evaporation, condensation, and return to the surface that is similar to the water cycle on Earth (but with liquid methane and ethane). The Cassini-Huygens lander set down on Titan and showed a scene with boulders, made of water ice, frozen harder than rock. Neptune’s cold moon Triton has a very thin atmosphere and nitrogen gas geysers.

Titan was discovered by Christian Huygens in 1655. Most of Saturn’s moons are small, under 50 kilometers in diameter, with notable moons like Enceladus, known for geysers, Mimas, and Prometheus, showcasing various interactions with Saturn's rings. This illustrates the diverse characteristics of Saturn's satellite system.
