2024年11月3日 · High in Titan’s atmosphere, methane and nitrogen molecules are split apart by the Sun’s ultraviolet light and by high-energy particles accelerated in Saturn’s magnetic field. The pieces of these molecules recombine to form a variety of organic chemicals (substances that contain carbon and hydrogen), and often include nitrogen, oxygen and ...

2008年9月12日 · The absence of a substantial intrinsic magnetic field at Titan results in a direct interaction between the moon's chemically complex atmosphere and its plasma environment . This interaction consists of electromagnetic coupling between charged particles resulting from the ionization of Titan's atmosphere and neutral corona, and the external wind ...

2022年9月16日 · It is true that Titan does not have its own magnetic field. It has been confirmed by magnetometer data from a flyby of Titan by the Cassini spacecraft.

2023年9月28日 · Most moons in the solar system which has a thick atmosphere have a thick magnetic field. Scientists have not yet gotten the reason as to why it doesn’t have a magnetic field. Lacking a magnetic field means that a moon is exposed to the solar wind, fortunately for Titan, it is protected by Saturn’s magnetic field. 6. Climate on Titan

2015年1月28日 · Using its magnetometer instrument, which is akin to an equisitely sensitive compass, Cassini has observed Titan many times during the mission's decade in the Saturn system, but always within Saturn's magnetosphere. The spacecraft has not been able to detect a magnetic field coming from Titan itself.

2023年11月17日 · The Influence of Titan’s Magnetic Field on its Atmosphere. Unlike Earth, Titan does not possess a significant magnetic field. This distinctive characteristic allows solar radiation to directly interact with Titan’s atmosphere, which is not the case on our own planet.

2015年6月18日 · Unike Earth, Titan has no magnetic field of its own, but is surrounded by Saturn's rapidly rotating magnetic field, which drapes forming a comet-like tail around the moon.

2010年10月16日 · We use the Cassini magnetic field measurements obtained during 25 Titan flybys to examine the upper limit of Titan's internal magnetic moment. The radial component of the magnetic field near the Titan surface (from 950 to 1100 km) is used to calculate the permanent dipole moment.

2013年1月10日 · This interaction generates an induced magnetosphere around the moon: the ambient magnetospheric field drapes around Titan's ionosphere, leading to the formation of a magnetic pile-up region at the ramside and a bipolar magnetotail in the wake region.

2020年10月15日 · While Saturn’s largest moon Titan is devoid of an intrinsic magnetic field, draping of the giant planet’s magnetospheric field around Titan’s ionosphere generates a pile-up region at the moon’s ramside.
