Titan

The largest moon of Saturn is its most interesting as well. Underneath its thick nitrogen atmosphere there are landscapes looking like those we have on Earth. Admittedly the temperature on Titan is only about 94 kelvin, frozen water, liquid methane and other hydrocarbons exist there. On Titan rivers, lakes and mountains have formed, but in an environment, which wouldn't allow life as we know it.

Distance to Saturn: 1 221 930 km
Mass: 1.35 * 1023 kg
Diameter: 5150 km
Orbit period: 15.9 days
