What's so special about Saturn that we need to know? Besides it's a freaking, awesome planet?!! Everyone loves Saturn's ring system. It is absolutely amazing. From Earth we can see Saturn with our naked eyes, but a pair of binoculars is helpful to see more details of the rings. Because Saturn is so light, the least dense of all the planets, it takes 10 hours and 34 minutes to make up a day. Saturn spins quite fast. Total moons orbiting Saturn is about 150 plus, there are lots of other icy bodies as well. It is a very frozen environment surrounding Saturn. To be precise there are about a billion particles floating among those rings. (If "a billion" is a precise number...)
Heat within Saturn drive storms and winds across the surface, just like Jupiter. The atmosphere is much like Jupiter too, made up of hydrogen, helium and other trace gases. No matter what world you come from, Saturn is "the bomb"!

Mrs. TaylorI love science! Everything about the world is interesting and never boring. I love to study plants, animals, insects, and people. My favorite subjects are my students who are the most unique organisms on the planet! Categories |
