Saturn's largest moon Titan is the only world in our solar system besides Earth known to have bodies of liquid on its surface. ... It's now known that Titan's hydrologic cycle is surprisingly similar to Earth's, with one big exception: the liquid on Titan is liquid methane/ethane instead of water, due to the extreme cold.
