Three of these moons possess particularly notable features: Titan has a nitrogen-rich atmosphere and a landscape featuring river networks and hydrocarbon lakes; Enceladus emits jets of ice from its south-polar region and is covered in a deep layer of snow; and Iapetus has contrasting black and white hemispheres as well as an extensive ridge of equatorial mountains which are among the tallest in the Solar System. Twenty-five of the confirmed moons are regular satellites; they have prograde orbits not greatly inclined to Saturn's equatorial plane (except Iapetus, which has a prograde but significantly inclined orbit). They include the seven rounded satellites, and four small moons that exist in a trojan orbit with some of the large...
