Saturn's atmosphere is comprised of different layers of clouds.

At the bottom, there is a 10km layer consisting of ice where the temperature is about -23 degrees Celsius.

The next layer is 50km and is about -93 degrees Celsius.

About 80km above that is a layer of clouds where the temperature is about -153 degrees Celsius.

Saturn also has a warm polar vortex where the temperature is -122 degrees Celsius, as opposed to the normal temperature of -185 degrees Celsius.

What is the temperature of earth compared to Saturn?

Because of Earth's orbital location and atmosphere, the temperatures are within a much smaller range than for the gas giant Saturn. The temperature at the top of Saturn's clouds averages -285° F (-175 °C). This is because the thin gas does not retain heat, and solar radiation at Saturn's orbital distance is minimal. The core of Saturn is much hotter, estimated at 11,700 °C, mainly due to extraordinary pressure and tidal forces in the thickening atmosphere. On Earth, geothermal heating is negligible, and the planet is heated by the Sun, alternately heating and cooling as it rotates. Atmospheric currents keep the temperature range between -40° and +40° C (-40° to 104°F) for most of the planet, with extremes of -89° and +58°C (-128°F and 136°F).


What is the maximum and minimum temperature for Saturn?

The maximum temperature on Saturn is around 134 degrees Celsius (273 degrees Fahrenheit) at the top of its clouds, while the minimum temperature is approximately -185 degrees Celsius (-300 degrees Fahrenheit) in its upper atmosphere.

What is the lowest temperature on Saturn?

Saturn has the hottest temperatures at the center of the planet with temperatures that can reach 20,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The coldest temperature occurs in the outer layers of Saturn's atmosphere and they can reach minus 238 degrees Fahrenheit.


What is the temperature of Saturn's rings?

Jupiter's rings are probably colder than Saturn's more prominent ones, given the cold of space. One ESA (Cassini) measurement for Saturn was from -163°C for the inner ring, -203°C for the center rings, and -183°C for the outer rings.

What is Saturn's temperature range and high and low?

The average temperature at the "surface" of Saturn is about minus 150 degrees Celsius. In fact that doesn't vary much from poles to equator. So, there not much of a maximum and minimum.
