Saturn is basically one big atmosphere - as far as we know, there is no real surface to the planet. Its composition is nearly all H2; the rest is approximately: * H2: 96.3±2.4% * He: 3.25±2.4% * CH4: 0.45±0.2% * NH3: 0.0125±0.075% * HD: 0.011±0.0058% * C2H6: 0.0007±0.00015% Besides this, aerosols of ammonia ice, water ice, and ammonia hydrosulfide exist in the atmosphere. So as to answer your queastion the out atmosphere doesn't contain a gass but aersols of ammonia ice, water ice, and ammonia hydrosulfide. Saturn is in effect one big atmosphere with no land just gas and the ices listed above. The primary gas found on Saturn is H2.
