Titan - Interior, Surface, Atmosphere, and Space Environment

Klappentext This comprehensive reference and guide examines the processes that shape the atmosphere and surface of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Zusammenfassung This comprehensive reference examines the physical processes that shape the fascinating atmospheric structure and chemistry! weather! climate! circulation and surface geology of Titan! Saturn's largest moon. The text also surveys leading theories about Titan's origin and evolution! and assesses their implications for understanding the formation of other complex planetary bodies.
