The atmosphere of Saturn is made up approximately of 75% hydrogen and 25% helium, with a bit of other substances such a methane and water ice.

Can you smell the gas on Saturn?

Saturn is a gas giant primarily composed of hydrogen and helium with trace amounts of other gases like methane. It is not possible to smell the gas on Saturn because the planet's atmosphere is not breathable for humans and lacks the necessary molecules to trigger the sense of smell.


Do all planets have gas?

No, not all planets have gas. Some planets, like Earth and Mars, have solid surfaces while others, like Jupiter and Saturn, are mostly composed of gas. Gas giants are primarily made up of hydrogen and helium.


Why are the outer planets made of gases?

Because they are made of Gas. Different Gasses... Gas Giants include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. They are made of Gas and etc. because they are big. Bigger than the Earth and comparable to the Sun.


Can the mass of gas be measured?

sure. we know that the molarity of gas in a constant temperature and pressure (exp, room temperature, 25 celcius, 1 atm) will have a constant volume. in 25'c, 1 atm, the volume of one mole of gas is 24.5 L. so that if we know the volume of the gas, we can divide it by 24.5, such that we can determine the molarity of that gas. and molarity times molar mass will equal to the mass of a type of gas. calculation : given a known volume V at 25'c , 1atm no of mole of gas = v / 24.5 = q mole of gas. mass of gas = q(no of mole of gas) x Mr(molecular mass of that type of gas) *assumption : it is a pure gas (contain the same type of gas), and we also know the type of gas we are testing( so that we know the molecular mass of that gas) method 2: 1) weight the mass of a balloon(p). 2) pump the gas/ gasses into the balloon, weight the mass of the balloon +gasses(q). 3) p-q = weight of the gasses * disadvantages : we cannot define the mixture of gasses inside the balloon. * since we got analytic chemistry, we can put the gasses into a nuclear magnetic resonance spectorscopy and analyse the substance inside the balloon because of chemial shift.


Is Saturn a gas giant or rocky?

Saturn is classified as a gas giant, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with a small rocky core at its center.

If Saturn is a gas giant and by the ideal gas law gasses are massless how does it have a gravitational attraction force I know that in quantum chemistry the ideal gas law breaks down and no longer app?

The ideal gas law does not hold that gasses are massless. Gas does indeed have mass. Saturn has a mass of about 5.68*1026 kilograms.


What are gases do the different planets have?

Which planet is a giant ball of gasses?

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all "gas giants". The existence and nature of solid cores is uncertain.


Why does Saturn have stripes?

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.


Is there life on Saturn's moon Titan?

No, because it contains the gasses and poison that saturn contins.
