2. Planet’s Symbol

3. Origin  Roman mythology  God of agriculture

4. Discovery Of Saturn  Who: Galileo  How: Through a telescope  When: 1610

5. Distances  Saturn is the 6 th planet from the sun  It’s 1,429,400,000 km from the sun  1.67 billion km from Earth

6. Planet Measurements  Mass: 5.6832x10 26 kg  Volume: 8,2713x10 14 km 3  Density: 0.687 g/cm 3  Gravity: 10.4 m/s 2  Saturn would float on water because it’s less dense than water.

7. Orbit and Rotation  It takes 29.46 Earth years for Saturn to orbit the Sun  To rotate on it’s axis in one day it takes Saturn 10.2 Earth hours

8. Composition of the Atmosphere  Made of mostly hydrogen and helium 75% Hydrogen 25% Helium  Thick atmosphere

9. Temperature  Saturn’s temperature range is -290 oF  It would be freezing compared to Earth  Compared to Florida it would be extremely cold

10. Composition/Appearance  Saturn is a gas giant, and it’s composition is similar to Jupiter’s  It’s mainly 75% hydrogen, and 25% helium  There are traces of water, methane, ammonia, and rock on the planet  Saturn is almost as big as Jupiter in size. It has 8 rings around it, and it appears to be striped with a yellowish tan. Saturn can be seen with a naked eye.

11. Weather On Saturn  Fog and wind occur on Saturn  The winds blow 1,100 mph (500 meters per second)  The clouds in the atmosphere are cold, thick, and in a uniform shape

12. Rings  Saturn has 8 divisions of rings  The rings are made of ice chunks and rocks  It was discovered by Galileo in 1910 with a 20-power telescope  The color of the rings are tannish gray and white

13. Moons  There are 53 moons on Saturn and 9 being confirmed  Saturn’s moons might be able to support life  The moons’ of Saturn were discovered in the 1600s

14. Forms of Water on Saturn  Water ice  Rain  Ice atmosphere

15. What would happen if a human traveled to Saturn?  You’d weight about 7lbs heavier  You’d float around Saturn  No long term survival, because Saturn does not support life

16. Something Special  Since 2004, 5 missions were taken place on Saturn  They’ve been researching about the moons and rings on Saturn
