It is the common knowledge that if a planet formed first and then followed by their satellites. But what happens to the satellites of Saturn, Titan, suggests otherwise.

Nasa and Esa researchers have concluded if by nitrogen gas content in the atmosphere, Titan formed earlier than Saturn. Nitrogen on Titan turns out to have similarities with that of the same gas in the comet cloud space Oot. Oot cloud known as a collection of rock and ice that lay surrounds our solar system were formed before the solar system there.

Saturn's largest satellite is likely formed from the constituent materials of the sun, now a center of the solar system. Moments are also believed to be the birth of comets that exist in the universe. Therefore, the discovery of nitrogen on Titan typical comet is an indication if the satellite is as old as the comet.

The research team also added that Titan's atmosphere contains nitrogen in highly abundant amount, approximately 78 percent of the amount of nitrogen that is in the earth.

They sure if massive amounts of nitrogen may not exist just on Titan, because they at least take more than 4 billion years to gather all the nitrogen.

Previous researchers have hypothesized if Titan, comets, and the earth has a link about the nitrogen that is in it. It is also increasingly proving if the nitrogen that is in the earth is not just coming from donations comet or meteor that crashed into our planet's atmosphere, but the donation of the materials used to form the sun and the solar system.
