How is Saturn’s moon, Titan, able to hold onto its atmosphere?

Geography

6 0

Answer:

A. It is very cold at Titan. Cold gases are more easily held in place by gravity, so although Titan is the size of Mercury, it is able to cling to this gold gas.

Explanation:

Titan is among Saturn's numerous moons the largest one. It is remarkable for many reasons but the most intriguing one is his atmosphere.

At first, all planets, as well as big moons, have an atmosphere. But there are many factors that can lead to its loss, just as <em>Mars, a planet larger than Titan, lost its atmosphere.</em>

The problem with Mars is it is too close to the Sun. The temperature was high and the molecules managed to escape its gravity.

But Saturn and Titan are really far and the temperatures are low. <em>The molecules are not able to move fast enough</em> and this way Titan manages to hold on to its atmosphere.

how do the types of governments in africa shown in the country databank reflect africa’s political challenges
choli [55]
We can answer this by making a well-known comparison. The most democratic country in Africa according to data is Mauritius. Formerly a French colony, and known in the language as Maurice, the country did not fare well under colonialism just like all other colonized countries. After independence, Mauritius slowly gained back freedoms that were limited back then and sadly are limited in most other countries in the region today as well. Mauritius’s ruling party is a centre-left party that endorsed positions such as affordable healthcare and education, which can be seen in the great deal of reduction in illiteracy of the country, as well as prevalent issues in the region such as infant mortality. Devastatingly, a fellow African country, Angola, did not have the same fate after independence. Today, Angola is ruled by pseudo-“democratic” president, whose family horde the entire country’s wealth, making them some of the most lavishly inhabited families, while Angola has one of the highest infant mortality rates on earth - having healthy and living children grow up in Angola is more than just a challenge due to their future life, the beginning on its own is barely a start.

Hopefully all countries and societies may one day have free and prosperous democracies and children may never die over corruption.
