saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system. Its most obvious characteristic is a system of rings that orbit the planet exactly in the plane of the equator. Saturn has the lowest density of all planets in the solar system. The structure of chemical composition is similar to the largest gaseous planet, Jupiter.

Galileo Galilei discovered Saturn's rings in 1610. There are thousands o rings made up of billion of particles of ice and rock. The particles can be the size of a grain of sugar to a size of a house. Each ring orbits at a different speed around the planet. Saturn's rings are the biggest of all planets and the most spectacular.

(All the moons are on the typed paper). The main moon is Titan. Titan is Saturn's fifteenth moon, and largest. It was long thought that Titan was the largest satellite (moon) in the solar system but recently, observations have shown that Titan's atmosphere is so thick, that its solid surface is slightly smaller than Ganymede's which makes it the second largest moon in the solar system. Titan is larger in diameter than Mercury and larger and more massive than Pluto. The Earth's atmosphere, extends about 60 kilometers into space, while Titan's extends 600 kilometers, ten times more.

Surface Pressure: Saturn's surface is not a solid surface and the pressure is so powerful, that it squeezes gas into liquid.
