Saturated fat turns solid when it cools. Saturated fat consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acid radicals. To give you a better idea of what this means, a fat is composed of carbon bonding to hydrogen and a few other elements(Not really necessary to know for this), in a saturated fat, every carbon contains the maximum amount of bonds it can have, four bonds. In a unsaturated fat, the carbon has a double bond to a carbon, and therefore isn't holding the maximum amount of hydrogen. Here's a picture.

Saturated Fat and MAYBE Trans Fat depending on the brand.
