Well, Venus has a pretty good atmosphere too. And technically all the gas giants have an atmosphere.

[dominic]

Great video Anton, I hope you have a wonde

[chloroplast]

Humans: Hey look! Titan has a stable atmosphere!
Titan: Oh shit

[BillKermanKSP]

I guess he uploaded this by accident so probably no video tomorrow..

[Kiromony]

_why titan has atmo_

When you are talking and someone interrumpts you


EDIT: since the title was edited, this joke is about the old title, which was "why titan has atmo"

[davidroddini]

Of all the rocky worlds in our solar system, only earth and Titan have stable atmospheres? What about Venus?

[archenema]

Titan has spent all that time with Saturn and still doesn't have a ring. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

He has the best voice to beat insomnia. I learn so much during my bed time. Too bad I jump everytime an ad starts. Still the best 10 mins of sleep all night.

“How come none of the planets except Earth and none of the other Moons have anything remotely similar”

**Venus crying in the Distance**

[mikibednarczyk]

I actually found one of your simulations in Universe Sandbox

[persophone]

Actually, the ground state of Oxygen is a triplet (a diradical) and is paramagnetic. It has only a single bond and the excited state has a double bond. You can determine that using ab initio calculations and see it in organic photochemistry. Furthermore, if you run liquid oxygen through a strong magnetic field it will "bend" under the influence of the magnetic field whereas nitrogen will flow unaffected by any magnetic fields.

[getinge]

Really like your channel. Very educational without being too complicated. Keep it up.

[Bertydude]

Hello wonderful Titan, this is Nitrogen.

[vremebgvremebg]

Great video!!
One remark: solar radiation reduces by the distance cubed, not squared. 9AU = 729 times weaker than 1AU.

[skippychurch]

I really like your videos. Not only for the info, but your very soothing personality.

[vgernyc]

O2 is also very reactive gas where Nitrogen gas is relatively inert except for certain elements like Molybdenum. Lightning and certain life forms can break the bonds in Nitrogen gas in addition to solar radiation as well

[onehitpick]

I think it's life -- specifically bacteria -- which causes nitrogen fixation in the ground layer, which naturally diffuses and interchanges with the atmosphere. That is, those two bodies are infested with some special bacteria.

[XalvandorsNest]

Hi Anton. This is wonderful person. Wonderful content as usual.

[killerkoffee]

I think there used to be a lot of nitrogen in the inner Solar System which is why Venus and Earth have so much of it. Mars probably had a similar atmosphere to Earth rn but lost it because maybe the solar energy caused nitrogen to heat up and escape. Saturn and Jupiter, as in another theory, were probably made in the inner solar system and maybe Jupiter's moon accreted after the Nitrogen and other gases had been blown away by the Solar wind but Titan formed in time with enough mass to capture and maintain an atmosphere
