it is a major of moon of Saturn, third largest of Saturn, 11th in the solar system.Iapetus is named after the Titan Iapetus from Greek mythology. It is also designated Saturn VIII. it is the only major moon in the solar which has a very inclined orbit around Saturn, so from ipateus, you would clearly see Saturn's rings. its is also strange its shape because it has a walnut shape, thus having a 20km high many kilometers long equitorial ridge. this moon is also divided halfly in white and dark brown terrain. it is very cold on ipateus and it virtually has no atmosphere
