Saturn's moon Titan is covered by "dirty" ice ridges and seas of liquid natural gas If it's liquid, how is it gas?

There are LNG terminals all over the world. "Liquid Natural Gas."

If it's liquid, how is it gas? "Natural gas" is a term covering methane, ethane and other compounds, which are most often (on Earth, anyway) found is gas form.
This is what happens when a fashion writer covers a tech story.

Same as LNG. Put that way by lowered temps for easier transportation. Thaw it, gas again.

The natural gas liquifys when cooled. Not sure at what temperature though.

Just like propane (LPG or Liquified Petroleum Gas). Store it under intense pressure and it liquifies until released to normal atmosphere.
