Question

Why are astronomers today not able to say what the surface of Titan looks like?

1) no spacecraft flew by Saturn and its satellites so far
2) a spacecraft did fly by Saturn, but it never got close enough to Titan to send back good images of its surface
3) on the spacecraft that flew by Saturn and Titan, the cameras failed just as the images of Titan's surface were going to be taken
4) Titan is completely covered by a reddish haze layer through which we could not take pictures
5) you can't fool me, Titan has no surface–it is composed of gas and liquid only

Answer 1

Astronomers are not able to say what the surface of Titan looks like due to camera failures on spacecraft, a haze layer preventing clear pictures, and the composition of Titan's surface being primarily gas and liquid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Astronomers today are not able to say what the surface of Titan looks like for multiple reasons. Firstly, the cameras on the spacecraft that flew by Saturn and Titan failed just as the images of Titan's surface were going to be taken. Secondly, Titan is completely covered by a reddish haze layer through which we could not take clear pictures. Lastly, the surface of Titan is primarily composed of gas and liquid, and not solid elements like rocks and soil.
