This is probably a dumb question, but if it is covered in methane and there are clouds, is there lightning? If there is, wouldn't the methane ignite?

- fenaer 8y agoIt would only ignite in the presence of oxygen, and at least according to the information I've looked at it doesn't seem that Titan's atmosphere contains large amounts.
- rbanffy 8y agoIf it does, with all those hydrocarbons around, it won't be there for long.
- maxxxxx 8y agoIf there was oxygen probably some asteroid impact would already have ignited the methane in the past.
