Saturn moon Titan is similar to Earth

The astronomers have come out with interest claims about Saturn. They said that the largest planet of Saturn, Titan was apparently like Earth. They found landscapes on Saturn, which has marks of river flow. But then the scientists also said that the rivers were not water but liquid methane. It may be recalled that scientists first discovered the landscape on Saturn in 2004.

The scientists at MIT and University of Tennessee (Knoxwille) now want to look into the history of Titan and its geology. It has to be mentioned here that Titan has been revolving around Saturn for four billion years and therefore it might be a tough task for scientists to look into the geology of Saturn. But, the surface of Titan is apparently making them fascinated.

The researchers at the university said the surface of Titan was clear like earth's surface. They have even argued that the constant geological activists had been reshaping the moon.  The scientists, however, found low erosion than expected on Titan. And that was probably because of its four billion years' history. They have also said that the similarities between Earth and Titan would supposedly give them insight into how Titan's surface transformed over ages.
