Planet Saturn

The sun does not orbit Saturn. Saturn orbits the sun.

None of them! The asteroid belt isn't a planet or anything of that matter, so it can't be rocky. It's not a gas giant, either, because it's not a giant planet as Jupiter is, and it's not made of gases. There is nothing to support the ice, so it's impossible to be icy. Surprised? Well, that's the answer for you! : $) (that's my beautiful mustache smiley!)

Saturn is lighter than Pluto. Saturn is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with a density lower than water. Pluto, on the other hand, is a rocky dwarf planet with a higher density compared to Saturn.

Saturn's interior is probably composed of a core of iron, nickel and rock (silicon and oxygen compounds), surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium and an outer gaseous layer.[17] Electrical current within the metallic hydrogen layer is thought to give rise to Saturn's planetary magnetic field, which is slightly weaker than Earth's and around one-twentieth the strength of Jupiter's.

I don't know what it is MOSTLY made of but that's what its made of generally.

The Cassini spacecraft, a joint mission between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency, discovered the "hot spots" on Saturn. Cassini arrived at Saturn in 2004 and observed these hot spots on the gas giant's southern pole.

No aircraft has landed on Saturn. Saturn is a gas giant planet with no solid surface to land on.

Saturn's moon with the crater Herschel is called Mimas. Mimas is one of Saturn's innermost moons and is known for its large Herschel crater, which gives it a distinctive "Death Star" appearance.

This question is complicated by two factors.

For one, Saturn is not at a fixed distance from Earth, so the answer would be a range rather than a specific amount of time.

But more importantly, there's no fixed speed of sound the way there is for light. The speed of sound is determined by the density of the substrate which the wave is traveling through, say water or air. Even on Earth, the speed of sound through air will vary by temperature and altitude. Since there's nothing in space for the waves to propagate through, sound simply doesn't travel between Earth and Saturn; it has no speed.

For the sake of providing an answer, though, let's pretend that space is actually air of the density of that at sea level on Earth. And that Saturn and Earth are at their closest, and stay still. If this were the case, it would take something like:

111 years

273 days

14 hours

The most recent space mission to explore Saturn was the Cassini-Huygens mission, which ended in 2017. Cassini was a spacecraft that orbited Saturn for over 13 years, studying the planet and its moons in great detail. The mission provided valuable insights into the planet's atmosphere, rings, and moons.

Mars is an inner planet, located between Earth and the asteroid belt. The inner planets are rocky and terrestrial, while the outer planets are gas giants.

The ancient Babylonians were likely the first to observe Saturn without a telescope around 700-600 BCE. They noted its slow movement against the fixed stars.

Giovanni Cassini made major contributions to astronomy, including discovering four of Saturn's moons (Iapetus, Rhea, Tethys, and Dione), creating the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings, and calculating the rotational periods of Jupiter and Mars. He also analyzed the Great Red Spot on Jupiter and observed various celestial phenomena.

The average temperature on Saturn is around -288 degrees Fahrenheit (-178 degrees Celsius). This extreme cold is due to the planet's distance from the Sun and its thick atmosphere, which traps heat from escaping into space.

Saturn goes around the sun once every Saturn Year, and that is only once every 29.46 Earth Years.

Jupiter isn't farther than either. Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun, Saturn is the 6th planet from the Sun, & Uranus is the 7th planet from the Sun.

It takes about 1 hour and 24 minutes for a radio signal to travel from Earth to Saturn when the two planets are at their closest point. This distance can vary depending on the positions of the two planets in their orbits.

Yes. Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system in terms of both diameter and mass.

Saturn is about 9.41 times larger in diameter compared to Earth, which means it is about 94 times larger in terms of volume. This difference in size translates to Saturn being approximately 744 times more massive than Earth.

It takes Saturn about 10 hours and 39 minutes to complete one rotation on its axis, which is a Saturnian day. This is much shorter than an Earth day, which is about 24 hours long.

Saturn has hundreds of different gases in its atmosphere, with the most abundant being hydrogen and helium. Other gases present include methane, ammonia, and trace amounts of hydrocarbons.

Saturn is not always visible in the night sky. Its visibility depends on its position in its orbit relative to Earth, as well as the time of year. Saturn is most visible when it is at opposition, which is when it is directly opposite the Sun in the sky.

A day on Saturn, also known as its rotation period, is approximately 10.7 hours.

Saturn has over 80 moons, making it the planet with the most moons in our solar system. The exact number can vary as new moons are still being discovered.

One Saturn year is equal to about 29.5 Earth years.
