Hey everyone! Did you know that it rains on different worlds?
On Earth when stuff falls from the sky, what do we see? Well it varies depending on the temperature but you can rest assured that what you see and feel is water. The stuff is everywhere! It comes in different forms such as liquid and a solid. So how is rain formed? Rain happens through a process called the water cycle. Simply put, water is evaporated from sources like rivers, lakes and oceans and rises into the air. As temperatures cool, the water vapor condenses and forms a cloud! Once water is condensed into a cloud, the cloud forms water droplets which then form into water drops. Once these water drops are heavy enough most of it makes it back to the surface as rain and this is the never-ending loop of the water cycle.
In bad thunderstorms, the drops that begin falling back to the surface get blown back high in to the atmosphere into …show more content…
Titan is the largest moon in the Saturn system and the second largest in the solar system, second to Jupiter 's moon Ganymede. Titan is a very complex world, in fact, scientists believe it is similar to how Earth would have looked in it 's early years. It 's atmosphere is composed of 95% nitrogen and 5% methane. Titan has methane rivers, lakes, and even oceans! In order for methane to exist in a liquid form it has to be extremely cold, on Titan it would be about minus 290 degrees F! Living on Titan would be relatively easy for humans. It is one of the least hostile places in our outer solar system. Protection from the cold and a breathing mask would be all you needed to live there. So, what would happen if you got caught in rain on Titan? No need to worry. If you happen to be exposed to the liquid methane, treating the exposure would be relatively the same as treating a natural gas exposure. Lets say you get the methane on your skin, if you rinse the area thoroughly with water, you will be
