Titan has the densest atmosphere of all moons

Titan possesses the densest atmosphere of all moons in the solar system, displaying a surface pressure of 147 kPa. This gaseous layer is composed of 98.4% nitrogen, with the remainder shared between methane and various hydrocarbons. A thick orange haze reigns there, caused by the Sun's ultraviolet radiation which dissolves methane in the upper atmosphere.
