I meant saturn!opps
2007-12-05 10:01:14 · update #1
no....
an environment made of 6200 miles of tall ice clouds and liquid pools made from hydrogen, helium, ammonia, acetylene, ethane, phosphine, and methane, IS NOT the right conditions for humans to live in.
oxygen and nitrogen would be nice to have not to mention a little sun light coming through the clouds.
but its moon titan might be a different story in a few billion years.
it looks very promising

Saturn's gravity is 9.4% weaker than earths gravity.
taken by cassini as it approach saturn,
VERY STRIkING

My guess would be no, for three reasons:
1) Saturn is much farther from the sun than Earth and is probably too cold to support human life.
2) Saturn is much larger than Earth and its gravity is probably too strong for us to survive in.
3) Saturn is a gas giant and has, as far as I know, no surface for us to live on. If there is a surface, it's buried under an incredibly thick atmosphere--maybe thick enough that the atmospheric pressure could crush us.

We might be able to live in orbit around Saturn, but we could never live "on" Saturn because it has no solid surface. It is a gas giant. Well, it does have a small solid core, but you'd be crushed to death by pressure before you ever got there.

No, because Saturn is a cold and gaseous planet. There is no rocky soil to stand up. And not only this, Saturn´s atmospheric pressure would crush us.

No. The giants planets (Jupiter & Saturn) have not a surface. The upper atmosphere's temperature is too low. The lower atmosphere's temperature is too high (thousand degres). There are not liquid water, nor oxygen. No way!

No, never... it's a gas giant, and as such, has no surface. It's also very, very cold, not to mention there's hurricane (and stronger) force winds on a calm day.
The moons would be possible, but not Saturn itself.

No.
Way too cold.
No surface.
1000 mph winds.
She just did, Neptune.
Amy. believe it or not, at the "surface" its gravity is about the same as earth's. It is much more massive than the earth, but at the top of the clouds of Saturn, you are much farther away from the center of gravity.

Well, in short, no.
Saturbians become disturbians when disturbed. Very crafty creatures!
Saturnians, on the other hand, wouldn't mind too much, though...
Sorry, just being me...
There is not a solid surface on which to stand, so it wouldn't be very comfortable, just very cold, with nowhere to walk or lie down...
You WOULD have a great set of rings to look at, though!

hmmm... maybe in an unbreakable dirigible city that could survive getting blown around and around. The view would be nice. Well, maybe not.
you should use that as the premise of a story. make it short, a few pages, and don't forget the plot! some sort of conflict (please, no aliens), but you could do a mutant virus or evil corporation... lord knows we see enough of those to have NO suspension of disbelief needed.

no, for one Saturn has no solid surface, exept for a puny chunk of rock about 50,000 km down.
also you and your shipped would get thrown around by the 1600 Km/h winds.
Plus its extremly cold
