Titan, a moon of the gas giant Saturn, is particularly notable for being the only planetary body in the solar system other than the earth, that has stable liquid bodies. In plain English, Titan has lakes of liquids, they vaporize, and rains, hence forms rivers and valleys from mountains, and the rivers end in lakes. The liquids are methane and ethylene, what forms 'natural gas' on earth.
Titan has water in the form of solid ice. Liquid water can't exist on Titan because of low temperatures. Much of this information is recent knowledge, discovered when a probe studied Titan's surface recently.
