Titan is orange, and Triton half its size...

Hi SM

How hard can it be? Sure, sure... Titan/Triton... but come one! One has a 1.55 bar atmosphere that is orange, while other's is clear and just shy of vacuum. One is 5150 km across [more counting all that air] and the other is 2705 km across. One is cold enough to liquefy methane, the other cold enough to freeze it!

Not that similar at all ;-)
