Best Answer

Saturn has a prominent system of rings, consisting mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. Sixty-one known moons orbit the planet, not counting hundreds of "moonlets" within the rings. Titan, Saturn's largest and the Solar System's second largest moon (after Jupiter's Ganymede), is larger than the planet Mercury and is the only moon in the Solar System to possess a significant atmosphere.

The nearest to a special characteristic is that Saturn has more than 100 "moons". It is also one of four planets with a ring system. Thus, the rings are are not unique but Saturn's rings are the easiest to see.
