Saturn's rotation causes its oblate shape. During rotation, Saturn is flattened at the poles and bulges in the middle. Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest in the solar system.
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".

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun in our solar system.
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.
The moon titan belongs to the planet, Saturn
Yes.

The rapid rotation of Saturn flattens it at the poles by about 10%, making it the most oblate planet.

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.
"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.
Earth. The top-like motion is "precession".
Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun.
Saturn is a Jovian planet.

Planet Saturn was named after the Roman god of agriculture, Saturn.
