6. Saturn's Moons Saturn has 67 moons
Saturn's largest moon is Titan and is bigger than mercury.
Saturn's moons help keep the rocks that make up the ring in line. If the rocks try to move the closest moon to that rock uses its gravity to push it back in.
Scientists believe that some of Saturn's moons may have water in them.

7. Saturn's atmosphere and weather conditions
The atmosphere of Saturn has belts and zones that moves at speeds of 1,100 miles per hr.
The atmosphere is mainly made of hydrogen and helium.
Saturn's clouds have beautiful colors made up of strips of pale gold, beige, and white. They are mostly made of ammonia and methane.
The cloud movement causes the raging storms and powerful winds that are on the surface of Saturn.
