Does Saturn have craters if so how do they form?
Saturn does not have craters. Craters are formed when one solid object crashes into another, much larger, solid object and gouges out a hole, which is called a crater. Saturn is essentially a huge ball of gas, so it cannot have craters. Craters are also formed when volcanoes explode. Because Saturn is essentially a big ball of gas it is not known to have volcanoes.
What are Saturn's landforms?
Saturn is a gas giant, so it has no landforms.
Why does Saturn look as if it's being squeezed?
Saturn is spinning so fast that the planet bulge at the middle and flatten at the top.
What is an fun fact about Saturn?
That Saturn's density is so low that it would float on water (if a big enough body of water were found).
Is Neptune a gas or solid planet?
Neptune and Uranus are often called gas giants, but their composition may actually be closer to ice. They are sometimes called ice giants. but mostly neptune is none for being big and not warm like saturn, it is vary cold like uranus under 200 below thats alot compared to us its because its the farthest to the sun also like uranus but they are pretty big but the thing that people think is that it is big like saturn but it is closer to the sun so thats why neptune is a gas giant. :) also if you have a youtube account search pewdiepie and subscribe thanks :)

Is a 2000 Saturn sl compatible with a 97 Saturn LS?
What do you mean by compatible? Are you referring to parts being interchangeable? If so, some parts may be the same and some are not.
Which planet is called the titan?
Titan Orbits Saturn because its one of its moons, so say if Saturn was earth and titan was the moon, the moon would orbit the earth.
Would someone burn up on Saturn?
Yes, someone would be both incinerated and crushed on Saturn. The pressure due to mass is so intense that Saturn's surface is liquid, despite being made of what would normally be gaseous.
Why big bear is called big bear?
