Best Answer

It's because of the way Saturn's weather works and how it's atmosphere is constructed. Some of the bands are cold air descending while others are warm air rising. Because Saturn is composed of more than one type of gas the warm air currents bring heavier gasses that are a different color to the surface.

How many stripes does the planet Saturn have?

Saturn is a gaseous planet. The brightly colored stripes seen on the surface of Saturn are different cloud layers (ammonia ice, ammonium hydrosulfide, and water ice). The ordering of the colours is Red, White, Brown, and Blue as you move inward toward higher temperatures - the reddish regions are the coolest and they sit highest up in the atmospheres. So the "number" of stripes will continually vary.
