Yes, Saturn has a magnetic field that is produced by electric currents.
I guess that also means it is going to be a real challenge for scientists to enter Saturn in the future.

Does Mars have a Magnetic Field?
yes mars does alond with Saturn and uranus
Which planet likely has flowing liquid metallic hydrogen as the source of its magnetic field?
Saturn
Can other planets besides the earth have a magnetosphere?
The magnetosphere is the region around a planet where the solar wind is significantly altered due to the magnetic field of the planet. Planets with a magnetic field arising from internal processes are said to have a global magnetic field. A Global magnetic field will produce a magnetosphere. Six of the planets have global magnetic fields, and hence some magnetosphere; Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Mars did have one, but when the core froze, that ended the geodynamo. Venus, the near twin of Earth, does not have a geomagnetic field and that is quite perplexing. It too lacks a geodynamo and no one knows why. There are remnant magnetic fields for Mars and Venus, but they are too small to have any significant effect on the solar wind. Jupiter and Saturn have huge magnetic fields and there are only general theories as to what causes them. Uranus has a middling magnetic field, more in the range of Earth's field. The moon has no significant field. We have no idea whether Pluto does or not, but it would be unlikely.
What planets have a magnetic field?
Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Other planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) have magnetic fields too, but they are too tenuous to be detected from anyplace but the surface and don't protect from solar radiation.
Prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface?
The Earth is protected from the sun's charged particles by its magnetic field. The Earths magnetic field is generated within its molten iron core. Other examples of planets with magnetic fields include: Mercury, Jupiter, Ganymede (Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system) , Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.Mercury has a relitivley weak magnetic field. It is so weak that the suns charged particles can reach the surface of Mercury. +++ Also the atmosphere.
Does Saturn have magnetic fields?
yes, it has a magnetic field.
Why is Saturn's Magnetic field so strong?
because huge asteroids get pulled into Saturn's gravitational field
How is the day length determined on Saturn?
From changes in its magnetic field, assuming that the magnetic field rotates with the core.
Where is Saturn's moon titan located?
Saturn's moon "Titan" is located in Saturn's magnetic field.
Can Saturn move out of its rings?
no because of its magnetic field.
Which planets do have a magnetic field?
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Earth all have magnetic fields. Mercury has a very weak magnetic field.
Does Mars have a Magnetic Field?
yes mars does alond with Saturn and uranus
Which planet has flowing liquid metallic hydrogen as the source of its magnetic field?
Saturn
Which planet likely has flowing liquid metallic hydrogen as the source of its magnetic field?
Saturn
Which are the planets that contain magnetic field?
Not all the planets within our solar system have a magnetic field. Those that do include: Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Which planets have a magnetic force?
The planets within our solar system that have a magnetic field are: Earth, Jupiter, Mercury (though it is weak), Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus.
The area around an object that is affected by the magnetism of that object is the?
A Magnetic Force
