Info

• Haze Particles Grow Larger and Drop Out of Atmosphere onto the Surface • Lower Atmosphere and Surface Colder Then Upper Atmosphere – So No Evaporation and Re-Mixing • Only Ethane and Methane Might Be Able to Re-Mix Much Like EARTH’S Terrestrial Water Cycle This Voyager Close-up Image Has Been Enhanced and the Color Intensified
Evolution of the Atmosphere • Methane (CH 4 ) Is Broken Down by Electrons and Ultraviolet Photons • Some Hydrogen Escapes to Space Enriching Deuterium on Titan • Evidence Shows There Is a High Abundance of CH 3 D Methane • “Left-Over” Carbon Must Be Removed from the System to Remain in Balance • Ethane (C 2 H 6 ) Is the Most Abundant End Product • Titan Is Cold Enough That This Gas Would Condense Forming Ethane Lakes on the Surface of Titan • Titan is 94 o K (-179 o C) • It Is So Cold That H 2 0 Vapor Would Be Completely Lacking • Therefore: Lacking Any Appreciable Amount of Oxygen – Methane Remains Un-Oxidized, Adding to the Condensed Hydrocarbon Lake on the Surface of Titan
