What it's like to stand here

Standing on Titan, you would weigh about 86% less than you do on Earth. Its yellow dwarf, like our Sun sun looks 0.10× as wide than ours, bathing the surface in warm white light. A year passes in just 29.4 years, and at an estimated -179°C (-290°F) it is colder than almost anywhere in the solar system.

Where it is

Titan is in our own solar system. It orbits about 9.54 AU from the Sun, so sunlight reaches it in roughly 79 minutes. But a spacecraft is far slower:
