How is saturn’s moon, titan, able to hold onto its atmosphere?

a. it is very cold at titan. cold gases are more easily held in place by gravity, so although titan is the size of mercury, it is able to cling to this gold gas.

b. nitrogen is very, very heavy, so titan is able to hold on even though there is not much gravity.

c. titan does not spin on its axis, so the atmosphere is not thrown off.

d. titan has no appreciable atmosphere, so the question is meaningless.
