Due to a combination of its lower density (Saturn is the only planet of the Solar System that is less dense than water) , rapid rotation (10hrs 32m), and fluid state, Saturn is an oblate spheroid; that is, it is flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator. Its equatorial and polar radii differ by almost 10%-60 268 km vs. 54 364 km. The other gas planets are also oblate, but to a lesser extent.
What else can I help you with?
Which planet has flattened poles?
Several planets are flattened at the poles. That just means the distance between the poles is less than diameter of the planet at the equator. Saturn is the most extreme example in our solar system, followed by Jupiter. Even the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles. Astronomers call this "oblateness".
Which planet is called yellow planet?
Saturn
What position in the solar system is Saturn?
Saturn is the sixth planet of the Solar System.
What planet has flattened poles because it rotates so quickly?
Jupiter is the planet with flattened poles due to its rapid rotation. This fast rotation causes the planet to bulge at its equator and flatten at the poles.
Titan is a moon of this planet?
The moon titan belongs to the planet, Saturn
Is Saturn the most flattened planet in your Solar System?
Yes.

The planet that is the most flattened by its spin?
The rapid rotation of Saturn flattens it at the poles by about 10%, making it the most oblate planet.
Is Saturn shape like a pear or a flattened sphere?
its an flattened sphere
Is Saturn shaped liked a pear or a flattened sphere?
its an flattened sphere
What is the shape of planet Saturn?
It is like sphere, but "flattened" at the poles. So the diameter at the equator is about 10% more than the diameter between the poles.
What Shape does a planet or dwarf planet have to be?
"Spherical" or nearly so. For example Saturn is an obvious "oblate spheroid". It's a "flattened sphere" because of its high rotation speed and gaseous composition.
What planet is known for its top-like motion?
Earth. The top-like motion is "precession".
Is the planet Saturn a jovial planet or a terrestrial?
Saturn is a Jovian planet.
Which planet is called yellow planet?
Saturn
Who is the planet Saturn named after?
Planet Saturn was named after the Roman god of agriculture, Saturn.
Is Saturn a planet?
Yes, Saturn is the 6th planet from the Sun.
