Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system and the sixth in distance from the Sun. It is mostly gaseous with large "rings" of ice and rocks. It has more than 60 moons, the inner ones small and within the ring system. The outer hydrogen atmosphere is very cold, as low as -200 °C. But the small rocky core is heated by presssure to over 11700°C.

Saturn cannot support life because the dense liquid hydrogen has incredibly high pressure at greater depths and may form a mantle of solid hydrogen.

Saturn's orbit is 900 million miles (1.5 billion km) from the sun, compared to Earth at 93 million miles (149 million km), Jupiter at 500 million miles (778 million km), and Uranus (the 'next planet out') at over 1800 million miles (2.9 billion km).

Saturn is a gas giant which means all of its layers are made up gas that gets denser and denser the closer you get to the core (which is the only solid part of a gas giant) all the cores of the four gas giants ( Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are solar system are twice as big as Earth! The gas giants cores have such a strong gravitational pull they caught all the the gas floating by it and that's what made the gas giants. So there is nothing in Saturn except for gas.

As Saturn is a planet , it is in orbit around the Sun and not always in the same position .This means any objects which appear to be near it in the sky will vary according to the Earths position in its annual journey , and Saturns own orbit , which takes over 29 of our years to complete...

200 observed. 62 with secure orbits including 53 that are named.

Twenty-four of Saturn's moons are regular satellites; they have prograde orbits not greatly inclined to Saturn's equatorial plane. They include the seven majorsatellites, four small moons which exist in a trojan orbit with larger moons, two mutually co-orbital moons and two moons which act as shepherds of Saturn's F Ring. Two other known regular satellites orbit within gaps in Saturn's rings. The remaining 38, all small except one, are irregular satellites.

Most of Saturn's volume is gas, mostly hydrogen. At the core of the planet is beleived to be a sold core about the size of the Earth and composed of rock and ice.
