Abstract
Some of the aspects of methane precipitation on Titan are considered. In particular, descent velocities are computed. It is found that raindrops fall much slower than on Earth. Additionally, the maximum size of raindrops on Titan is over 9mm, compared with under 6mm on Earth. The composition of drops will vary with altitude. Implications of these properties for Titan and the Huygens mission are considered.
