Specifications 6th Planet from the Sun 1,426,666,422km from the Sun; 1,277,068,191km from Earth Average radius:58,232 km Mass:5.68319x1026 kg Volume≈827,129,915,150,897 km3; 8.2713 x 1014 km Density:0.687 g/cm3 (floats on water) Length of day:10.656 hours Length of year≈29.451 Earth years Moons: At least 150; 53 named. Date of Discovery: unknown Discovered by: unknown Orbital inclination: 2.49 degrees Axial tilt: 26.73˚ Gravity: 10.4 m/s2; 1.065g (distances not to scale)

Atmosphere Ices: Temperature: ≈96.3% Hydrogen (H) ≈3.25% Helium (He) 0.4% methane (CH4) 0.01% ammonia (NH2) 0.01% Hydrogen deuterium (H-D; D=2H) 0.0007% ethane (C2H6) ...among others Ices: ammonia (NH2) water (H2O) ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) Temperature: Ammonia cloud layer:-173˚C to -113˚C Water Ice layer:-88˚C to -3˚C Lower Layers: Up to 57˚C Average:-288˚C

Flyability Titan Atmosphere slightly denser than Earth’s Weaker gravity; a bit more than Earth’s MUCH colder; -288˚C Fairly good for flying, minus the temperatures, not as good as Earth Titan Atmosphere is thicker Very light gravity; gravity lower than the moon’s Still freezing, at 72 Kelvins (-201.15˚C; ≈the temperature of liquid nitrogen) Low gravity allows for human-powered flight, almost better than Earth

Ring System Best known and most famous ring system Many small particles of ice, water, and rocky materials 3 main sections A ring; Outermost ring B ring; Largest and Brightest Faint ring system between the A ring and the B ring Rings date to the formation of Saturn itself

Moons At least 150 moons, 62 discovered 53 named Largest and most famous is Titan Others include Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Hyperion Vary drastically in size, texture, age, and origin (moon sizes are to scale)

Missions Pioneer 11 Flyby Voyager 1 and 2 flyby Cassini-Huygens: SOI; Saturn Orbit Insertion
