So the noonday sun on a clear Earth day is 3000x as bright as it is on Titan. This is partly due to the fact that unlike Earth, Titan's atmosphere is dense enough to absorb light whereas the Earth's atmosphere merely scatters light. | |

This is what the sky looks like on the surface of Titan: esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2005/01/… | |
