Titan's internal structure

Titan's internal structure
Titan's internal structure Studies of Titan's gravity have shown that Titan is very likely only incompletely differentiated, meaning that its component materials (ice, rock, metal) are not separated into layers according to their density. The distribution of its internal mass is intermediate between Callisto's (which is not differentiated) and Ganymede's (which is). Doug Ellison, based on an internal model from Mitri et al., 2010
