The surface temperature of Titan is extremely cold, averaging around 95 K, which is equivalent to -178°C. This is due to its significant distance from the Sun and its thick atmosphere, which is primarily composed of nitrogen with methane clouds, contributing to a greenhouse effect but not enough to significantly warm the surface.
