Jupiter is 5.2 times farther from the Sun than the Earth. Thanks to the inverse square law, it gets 3.7% of the sunlight that Earth does. You won't be growing any plants there, and solar electric is going to be terrible. Saturn, which Titan orbits, is 9.6 times farther, and receives 1% of the sunlight that Earth receives. Mars is much better at 1.5 times farther, and receiving 44% of the sunlight that Earth does. Also, Titan averages -179C compared to Mars' range from -125C up to 20C. |
