5. Titan (seen from Saturn)

6. Titan 2 nd largest moon in solar system It’s density is 2 g/cm 3 It’s made up of about half rock and half frozen water. The atmospheres pressure is 1.5 times Earth’s 90 to 99% of the gas is Nitrogen. The rest is methane and very small amounts of hydrogen cyanide and acetylene. -180°:turns methane and other gases to liquid Its orange because of that.

7. Mimas (seen from Saturn)

8. Mimas Nicknamed the “The Death Star” Creator is named Herschel It’s so big that it’s gravity pulls material to keep it in a sphere Named after a Titan the Hercules killed

13. Rhea (seen from Saturn)

14. Rhea 2 nd largest moon of Saturn 1/3 of the moon’s mass is rock. The rock is the core. The other 2/3 of the moon is ice. Many creators cover the planet.creators

15. Hyperion (seen from Saturn)

16. Hyperion The largest non-ball shaped object in the solar system Being that it isn’t round, scientist think that it broke off of a larger moon. Named after the son of Earth and Uranus

17. Iapetus (seen from Saturn)

18. Iapetus Iapetus’ structure is primarily an ice ball. Unlike most of the moons that orbit around the equator of Saturn, Iapetus orbits from top to bottom.top to bottom. Named after the son of Uranus, that is said to be an ancestor to humans.

19. Phoebe (seen from Saturn)

20. Phoebe Phoebe is 4 times farther than Iapetus to Saturn It’s darker tan a lot of Saturn’s moons It orbits from top to bottom, and not around the equator Scientists think that Phoebe is probably a comet or asteroid captured by Saturn’s Gravity.
