    1:10 To be more precise, the low gravity means that the rate the atmospheric pressure/density falls with height is much slower, so the atmosphere extends much further out than on Earth. Another way to think about it is that a much larger atmosphere (per square meter anyway) weighs less thanks to the lower gravity, so it can be a similar pressure to Earth while being more extensive.

      Why would a nuke increase it's temp?

Although the whole planet is covered in flammable gasses so...

    Seems like the conclusion for most moons with any kind of ice on them is that they have some kind of liquid ocean underneath. Too a layman, this seems a bit suspect, considering the big deal made out of Europa's under-crust ocean.

  • @thepuncakian2024

      when a moon is spinning and orbiting a planet, the planet warms up the moon. but when the planet turns rotational energy into thermal energy, it loses rotational speed. so a tidally locked planet has already fulfilled it's heating potential and cannot be heated further by tides. that is why most moons don't get tidal heating, because thay are tidally locked already, such as our moon. titan and europa are unique because they are *NOT* tidally locked to their parent bodies.

    • @thepuncakian2024
      @thepuncakian2024 9 лет назад

      Nuclearsheep 53 In the video, I thought they said they were tidally locked. But in think what I meant to say was that they were tidally heated.

    Maybe a comet or some other fast moving body skimmed through Saturn long ago fast enough that it pulled a lot of gas out with it before settling in an orbit around Saturn, and then smaller particles and rocky bodies were pulled in around it, eventually coalescing into the moon we know as Titan, with all that gas trapped inside.

    3:24 is that graphic right? because it seems the ocean is the blue layer, which is beneath a thin white layer which could be the ice layer you were talking about. The center looks like a rocky core rather than an ocean. I'm pretty sure that's how I've seen it before.

    It was slightly confusing the atmosphere part of explanation because you were talking about how big and thick and dense it is, even though earth's gravity is greater, so its atmosphere should be denser. But we can see through the earth's atmosphere. The difference then must be the composition. So I feel that's when you should have mentioned the methane...

    So it's a re-upload, but ..
    Did any one mention that methane is a by product of biological compounds breaking down by bacteria? When you spectral graph (a way of reading the exact wave lengths of light) the light that passes through an atmosphere you can pick out methane as one of them, which means there is biological life there. Therefore, the real question is "who farted"
    This applies to any planet which passes between us and another sun no matter how far away. The means if it's carbon based life form, we can see which planets actually have life at many light years away. As for intelligent life, we still are looking for that here on Earth.
