1. SATURN By Nida siddique Talha Ahmed Amirali HajiTaheri

2. Distance from the sun Its distance from the sun is about 941,070,000 miles (1,514,500,000 kilometers). Its farthest point to about1,352,550,000 kilometers..

3. Sized compare to the sun Google. Web.. Saturn fits in the Sun The Sun is about 11.4 times larger than Saturn. So it’s about 1,482 Saturn would fit the sun Using manageable numbers - Saturn is 763.59 times the size of Earth The Sun is 1,300,000 times the size of Earth 1,300,000 / 763.59 = 1,702

4. There is no water on planet Saturn http://spiritualtravelman.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/faucet.gif Saturn's rings are made of ice. Saturn is a gas giant, with hydrogen and helium. There may not be water on Saturn.

5. Formation of Saturn Saturn formed from the solar nebula about 4.6 billion years ago. This solar nebula started out as a vast cloud of cold gas and dust which was disturbed somehow – perhaps by colliding with another cloud, or the shock wave from a supernova http://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/solarnebula.jpg

6. Atmosphere of Saturn the atmosphere of Saturn is made up approximately 75% hydrogen and 25% helium, with trace amounts of other substances like water ice and methane. Saturn has cloud bands in its atmosphere, but they’re pale orange and faded. This orange color is because Saturn has more sulfur in its atmosphere.

7. Diameter Saturn's diameter at its equator is about120,536 kilometers, almost 10 times that of Earth. (if the rings included is about 300,000kilometers) The planet can be seen from Earth with the unaided eye, but its rings cannot. Saturn was the farthest planet from Earth that the ancient astronomers knew about.

8. Reveloution One revolution around the Sun is called a year. A year on Saturn lasts 29.5 Earth years.

9. ROTATION Since Saturn does not turn around on its axis at a uniform rate, two rotation periods have been assigned to it, like in Jupiter's case: System I has a period of 10 h 14 min 00 s (844.3°/d) and encompasses the Equatorial Zone, which extends from the northern edge of the South Equatorial Belt to the southern edge of the North Equatorial Belt.

10. SATURN HISTORY Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer; he built his own telescope to study the sky. When Galileo Galilei looked at Saturn though his own telescope in 1610 he saw 2 lumps on either side of Saturn, he called these two lumps “Saturn’s ears.” Web..

11. Saturn’s history In 1656 Dutch astronomer Christian Huygens viewed Saturn though a much more powerful telescope and he discovered that “Saturn’s ears” were actually Saturn’s amazing rings..

12. What we can see? From Earth, Saturn looks like a bright yellow star. It is easy to see without a telescope. But with a telescope you are able to see Saturn’s rings..

13. Important mission The most important mission to Saturn is the Cassini – Huygens mission. The mission was made up of the orbiter Cassini and the space probe Huygens. At the beginning of the mission, Huygens was attached to Cassini; they were then taken to space by a rocket. The rocket was launched in 1997 and reached Saturn in December 2004. That’s a trip time of 7 years!

14. Ring of saturn Saturn has the largest and brightest system of rings in the whole solar system. The rings on Saturn are made of ice with some dust and rock http://www.solcomhouse.com/images/saturn_rin. gs_false.jpg>.

15. Rings of Saturn. There are chunks of rocks in Saturn’s rings, some of these chunks of rock are as big as a house! There are 7 rings around Saturn. Some of these rings are very small and hard to see, only 9 meters thick which is as tall as a 2 storey house. The bigger rings are made up of many smaller ringlets.

16. Saturn’s moon Moons are big rocks that orbit planets. Only 1 moon orbits Earth, but at least 60 moons orbit Saturn. Saturn’s moons vary in size. The smallest moon is “Pan” and the biggest is “Titan.”.

17. TITAN Titan is Saturn’s biggest moon and is the second biggest moon in the whole solar system. In comparison to Earth Titan is about half the size of Earth.

18. QUESTIONS 1.HOW SATURN WAS FORMED? A. Saturn formed from the soler hebale about 4.6 billion years ago. B. No one know C. from rocks D. it appeeared in the sky magically.urn change 2.What is the most prominent feature of Saturn? A. Telescope B. Planet C. Europa D. System of rings 3.How does our view of Saturn change Quickly B. Slowly C. rapidly D. does not change 4. How fast does wind travel in Saturn’s atmosphere? 12 mph B. 0 mph C. 930 mph 1500 mph 5. Do plant Saturn have water? A. No it does not B. yes it does C. Unknown D. the most

19. Saturn’s fact Saturn spins so quickly on its axis that the planet flattens itself out. While the distance from the center to the poles is 54,000 km, the distance from the center to the equator is 60,300 km. In other words, locations on the equator are approximately 6,300 km more distant from the center than the poles.

20. SATURN’S FACT Only 4 spacecraft sent from Earth have ever visited Saturn, and three of these were just brief flybys. The first was Pioneer 11, in 1979, which flew within 20,000 km of Saturn. Next came Voyager 1 in 1980, and then Voyager 2 in 1981. It wasn’t until Cassini’s arrival in 2004 that a spacecraft actually went into orbit around Saturn and captured photographs of the planet and its rings and moons.
