tell me anything anyone knows about saturn!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

It's the second largest planet in the solar system, and it's got rings.

Answer 2

Anything? It has rings. It is about 10 times further to the Sun than Earth is. It has the largest moon of the solar system (Titan) which is also the only moon with an atmosphere. It has 7 major moons, and astronomers keep finding more minor ones nearly every year. Its density is less than 1 (less dense than water on average). Despite its size, it does a complete revolution on its axis in 10 hours 47 minutes and 6 seconds, and that rotational speed actually makes the planet bulge at the equator (sor its equatorial radium is almost 10% larger than the polar one).

I could go on, there are whole books written about what we know, and what we don't know yet about Saturn, and I cannot evidently put all that stuff here.

Answer 3

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. It is a gas giant (also known as a Jovian planet, after the planet Jupiter), the second-largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter. Saturn has a prominent system of rings, consisting mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. It was named after the Roman god Saturn (the Greek equivalent is Kronos, father of Zeus). Its symbol is a stylized representation of the god's sickle.

Saturn is another gas giant with the largest ring system in the solar system. Saturn’s Atmosphere consists of approximately 75% hydrogen and 25% helium with traces of other substances like methane and water ice, an atmosphere very similar to Jupiter’s. Saturn is famous for its rings. They extend from 6,630 km to 120,700 km above Saturn's equator, average close to one kilometre in thickness and are composed of silica rock, iron oxide, and ice particles ranging in size from specks of dust to the size of a small automobile. There are two main theories regarding the origin of Saturn's rings. One theory, originally proposed by Édouard Roche in the 19th century, is that the rings were once a moon of Saturn whose orbit decayed until it came close enough to be ripped apart by tidal forces. A variation of this theory is that the moon disintegrated after being struck by a large comet or asteroid. The second theory is that the rings were never part of a moon, but are instead left over from the original nebular material that Saturn formed out of. This theory is not widely accepted today, since Saturn's rings are thought to be unstable over periods of millions of years and therefore of relatively recent origin. Saturn has 56 known natural satellites meaning that is the planet with the second largest ammount of moons in the solar system.

Answer 4

It's the six planet in the solar system, it's about 760 times the earth size. one Saturn years takes 29 years and 170 days, it has 10 satellites, it's ring was discovered by Galileo in 1610

Answer 5

The Radio and Plasma Wave experiment on the Cassini spaceprobe has recorded electrical disturbances in and around Saturn that our intrepid planetary scientists have converted into audio files you can listen to.

Fun Facts About Saturn !

General
One of five "naked eye" planets known to the ancients. Saturn is named for the Roman god of agriculture, also linked to Kronos, Greek god of time, father of Jupiter and king of the gods. (The others are Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter)
Yellowish color; at times the 3rd brightest planet in night sky.

Physical Characteristics
Second largest planet in the solar system, after Jupiter.
Equatorial diameter 120,536 kilometers (74,898 miles) at cloud tops
Polar diameter 108,728 kilometers (67,560 miles), making it the most oblate (flattened) planet.
Density 0.69 (water = 1), the least dense planet and the only one lighter than water
Volume 764 times that of Earth, but only 95 times more massive
Chemical composition primarily hydrogen and helium, thus accounting for its low density
Orbit
Sixth planet from the Sun, between Jupiter and Uranus
Mean distance from Sun 1.43 billion kilometers (890 million miles), approximately 10 times the distance from Earth to the sun
Brightness of sunlight at Saturn 1 percent of that at Earth
Length of a Saturn year is 29.42 Earth years
Length of a Saturn day is 10 hours, 39.4 minutes
Poles tilted 29 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun
Environment
Saturn's atmosphere above clouds is approximately 94 percent hydrogen and 6 percent helium
Winds near Saturn's equator blow toward east at 500 meters per second (1,100 miles per hour), making Saturn the windiest planet
Temperature at Saturn's cloud tops -139 C (-218 F)
Previous Exploration
Pioneer 11 flyby September 1, 1979
Voyager 1 flyby November 12, 1980
Voyager 2 flyby August 25, 1981
Rings
Saturn's main ring system would barely fit in the space between Earth and its Moon
Ring names are alphabetical in order of their discovery
B ring often contains radial spokes of dust-sized material; their appearance changes with time as they appear, change and disappear frequently
"Cassini Division" between the B ring and A ring is sparsely populated with ring material
E ring is densest at the orbit of Enceladus and may be fed by Enceladus eruptions
Moons
Saturn has 33 known moons, 15 of which were discovered after Cassini launched
Titan is the largest of Saturn's moons, and is larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto

Answer 8

The Saturn plant is adjacent to I-94 not far from Elgin, IL.

Answer 9

It is the second biggest planet in the Solar System. It is named after Saturn, or Chronos, King of the Titans. It has rings. The biggest moon is called Titan.

Answer 10

Saturn is sometime called "the jewel of the solar system"

Answer 11

The rings are made of bits of rock and ice! Really awesome rings, that Saturn has!
