1. The Solar System

2. Saturn: Cronus the god of Agriculture

3. Basic Facts
Size
The mean radius of Saturn is 36,183 miles. (Radius is the distance from the surface of the planet to the center of the planet or half way)
Distance from the sun
890 million miles.
Density
The density of Saturn is .125 that of Earth’s density meaning that it is lighter.

4. Core Saturn is one of the Gas Giants like Jupiter.
Saturn is made of hydrogen and helium - just not as much helium as Jupiter.
It is covered in an ocean of hydrogen.
Below this, is liquid metallic hydrogen, then a big rock center (bigger than Jupiter's).
Saturn doesn't have as much liquid metallic hydrogen as Jupiter does, so it doesn't have as strong of a magnetic  field. (Saturn is not as strong of a magnet as Jupiter.)

5. Saturn’s Atmosphere Saturn is also a gas giant.
Atmosphere is 75% hydrogen and 25% helium.
Winds on this plant have been clocked at 1,800 KM per hour.

6. Saturn’s Atmosphere Coldest Temperature is -301 degrees F.
Warmest Temp is ºF
The atmosphere is made of the same ingredients as what makes up the sun and Jupiter, but the amount of each is off. Saturn also shows an orange look to it from our planet because it has sulfur mixed into its atmosphere causing it to look orange.
This planet has winds equivalent to Jupiter but still not the most aggressive in our solar system. The winds move at 1,118 miles per hour…to give you an idea, 700 mph winds would rip buildings out of the ground. I’m talking about ripping out the Sears Tower.

7. Weight of Saturn
Saturn may be big, but it is light. In fact, if we could find an ocean big enough to hold a planet like Saturn, it would float like a soccer ball.

8. Magnetic Field
Saturn has an awesome magnetic field whose strength is 574 times the strength of Earths magnetic field.
This is important because magnetic fields protect the planet from the radiation from solar winds.

9. The Orbit Revolution of Saturn (Time it takes to go around the sun)
Nearly 29.5 Earth years.
Rotation of Saturn (Time it takes to make a full spin)
10.65 Earth hours.
At most, we would live to about 3 years old on Saturn. You could go through all the schooling and become a doctor before your first birthday.

10. Saturn’s Rings
Saturn’s Rings are made up of mostly ice ranging from the size of a grain of sand to the size of a house.
Saturn’s rings extend almost 40,000 miles from the planet, but the most interesting part is that most sections are less than a half mile thick.

11. How the rings were formed?
Like Jupiter, Saturn is also a moon killer but not as severe as Jupiter. It is mostly believed that an icy moon ventured too close to Saturn’s gravity and ripped it apart piece by piece.
The remains are now orbiting the planet Saturn causing the beautiful rings.

12. Can We Live there? Definitely not!
Just like Jupiter, there's no surface to stand on... You'd just have to swim around in an ocean of liquid hydrogen.
But the gravity on Saturn is so strong that you'd sink anyway.
There's no oxygen to breathe or water to drink. 

13. Saturn’s Moons Saturn has 62 moons
Saturn’s three most important moons.
Titan (Biggest for Saturn, 2nd biggest in the solar system)
Phoebe
Enceladus

14. Titan
This moon is of particular interest to scientists because it has clouds and a thick atmosphere.
It is a very cold moon that takes only 16 days to revolve around Saturn once.
The pressure of Titan is 60 times that of Earth. It would be like the pressure you feel at the bottom of a 10 foot swimming pool.

15. Phoebe Pronounced FEE-bee.
This moon is a very far ways away from Saturn. However, it is believed that this moon is one of the oldest in our solar system which could give us good evidence as to how old our solar system is.
Phoebe

16. Enceladus
In particular, the probe discovered a water-rich plume venting from the moon's south polar region.
This discovery, along with the presence of escaping internal heat and very few (if any) impact craters in the south polar region, shows that Enceladus is geologically active today.
