What gases do Saturn have?

Answer 1

We can determine the make-up of almost any planetery or celestial body using spectroscopy. This process breaks up the light emissions from said object and breaks them down into individuals colors of the light spectrum, better known to most of us as the Rainbow effect, for lack of a better term. Every element known to us will show up as a particular solid black band in the light spectrum, and by analyzing the bands, we can determine with relatively good certainty the make-up of astronomical objects.

Answer 2

The outer atmosphere of Saturn consists of 96.3% molecular hydrogen and 3.25% helium. Trace amounts of ammonia, acetylene, ethane, phosphine and methane have also been detected. The upper clouds on Saturn are composed of ammonia crystals, while the lower level clouds appear to be composed of either ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) or water.

Answer 3

Hydrogen is the main gas (about 96%). There is also some helium (about 3%).

There are small amounts of other things like methane and ammonia.

Answer 4

the minor gasses on Saturn are helium and hydrogen

Answer 5

helium and hydrogen the core is made of iron and rocks

Answer 6

~96%Hydrogen (H2)~3%Helium~0.4%Methane~0.01%Ammonia~0.01%Hydrogen deuteride (HD)0.000 7%Ethane

Answer 7

Saturn's atmosphere is composed of mainly hydrogen (96%) and helium (3%). Other trace gases present include methane, ammonia, and ethane.
