Why are saturated fats solid at room temperature but unsaturated fats are liquid?

Saturated fats have single bonds between all carbons, resulting in straight chains that can pack together.

Unsaturated fats have at elast one double bond between carbons that causes a bent shape, thus preventing the fats from packing closely together
