The upper atmospheres Titan and Venus currently are and have for decades been subject of considerable interest. While the exploration of Venus began several decades ago and culminated in the Pioneer Venus and, most recently, the Venus Express missions, the exploration of Titan is in comparison still in its infancy. With the Cassini/Huygens mission returning a wealth of remote sensing and in-situ data from Titan, we now learn more about its atmosphere and find many unexpected features. How much can we learn about the new findings of Titan by comparing it to Venus? The fundamental questions that will be addressed in this talk are what processes drive the dynamics and energetics of both bodies' thermospheres, and how their global structures of neutral densities and temperatures compare. We will present recent Titan observations by Cassini/INMS and relate them to Pioneer Venus observations in an attempt to better understand Saturn's moon.
