natural gas and methane are not poisonous if breathed but will displace oxygen from air and will cause suffocation and is as well as explosive. it is a greenhouse gas and will cause global warming.

∙ 11y agoMethane is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4. It is the simplest alkane, the main component of natural gas.
Methane is not toxic; however, it is extremely flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air. Methane is violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen-containing compounds. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space.

Saturn is gaseous. It is one of the gas giants so it doesn't have a solid surface. Out of the many gases, there are poisonous ones like methane.
Is natural gas deadly?
Natural gas is mainly methane. Methane is not actually poisonous, but you could suffocate from breathing it if there's not some oxygen mixed in with it (and if there is oxygen mixed in with it, then it's an explosion hazard).Also, "natural" natural gas is not entirely methane... it may contain small amounts of other chemicals which are much much more dangerous than methane itself is. For example, hydrogen sulfide is a very toxic gas that's often found in association with methane.

Does Jupiter have poison gas?
Yes, Jupiter's atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other gases such as methane and ammonia. These gases are not poisonous to humans, but the extreme conditions of Jupiter's atmosphere, such as high pressure and temperature, make it inhospitable for life as we know it.
