What are key attractions of Saturn?

Answer 1

SATURN - is the second largest planet and famed for its rings. It happens to be extremely light due to its gaseous make-up and if you could find a large enough bath, and a good supply of water, you would find that Saturn would float! The rings themselves are made up of particles of icy rock from as small as a grain of sand up to the size of a house, each individually orbiting like tiny moons. Diameter: 120,000 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 1,427 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Earth year): 29.46 years Rotates in (one day): 10 hours 14 minutes Rank: 2 Looks: Probably the best of the bunch OBSERVING SATURN: A small telescope will reveal the rings, binoculars are just not powerful enough to get that great view. In fact, many astronomers believe Saturn to be the best thing to see through a telescope. You have been told.

Answer 2

1) The rings.

2) Saturn's moons.

3) Cloud banding in Saturn's atmosphere.

4) Storms in Saturn's atmosphere.

5) Aurora and lightening.

6) The Hexagonal Vortex at Saturn's north pole (Which is a complete mystery to Modern Science.).

Answer 3

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and is the second largest in the solar system with an equatorial diameter of 119,300 kilometers (74,130 miles). Much of what is known about the planet is due to theVoyager explorations in 1980-81. Saturn is visibly flattened at the poles, a result of the very fast rotation of the planet on its axis. Its day is 10 hours, 39 minutes long, and it takes 29.5 Earth years to revolve about the Sun. The atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen with small amounts of helium and methane. Saturn is the only planet less dense than water (about 30 percent less). In the unlikely event that a large enough ocean could be found, Saturn would float in it. Saturn's hazy yellow hue is marked by broad atmospheric banding similar to, but fainter than, that found onJupiter.

The wind blows at high speeds on Saturn. Near the equator, it reaches velocities of 500 meters a second (1,100 miles an hour). The wind blows mostly in an easterly direction. The strongest winds are found near the equator and velocity falls off uniformly at higher latitudes. At latitudes greater than 35 degrees, winds alternate east and west as latitude increases.

Answer 4

Key attractions of Saturn include its impressive rings, which are made up of ice, rock, and dust particles, as well as its many moons, such as Titan with its thick atmosphere and potential for hosting life. The planet's unique hexagon-shaped jet stream at its north pole and its giant storm systems are also notable features.

Answer 5

There will be no craters on it's surface because the thick atmosphere will disintegrate any meteorites. Also, no anomolies have been reported on it's surface.

Answer 6

i think that just going to the planet would be cool!

bt wstop cheating if that's why u put this Q on here! :P

Answer 7

The planet Saturn is a planet with rings around it

Answer 8

AliensGases because Saturn is a gas planet just like Uranus.
