    Since this is the movies community, I presume you’re focusing on the MCU.

    Unlike in the comics, where Titan, the home of Thanos, is indeed the well known moon of Saturn, the MCU Titan is a planet in a distant star system. It is not specified how far it is from Earth, beyond “light-years away”, which could be either as little as a dozen or so, or as much as ~80k (the furthest edge of our galaxy from Earth).

    The Milano (and Captain Marvel) use jump points to travel interstellar distances. These are essentially fixed points, usually around planets, where a temporary wormhole can be created to another fixed point (which is why you can’t just go from A to B with a single jump). This system is also an invention by Gunn, it does not exist in the comics verbatim - though the implementation is quite similar to the Shi’ar Stargates, which also created temporary, stable wormholes for space travel.
