Saturn
My prior knowledge:
Saturn is the second biggest planet in the solar system.
Saturn is one of the 3 gas giants(Uranus,Saturn and Neptune).
Saturn has many moons
It has rings made of rock and ice
My questions:
Why does Saturn have rings?
What is the climate like on Saturn hot or cold?
Can you stand on the surface or will you fall through?
How long is its orbit?
Who found Saturn?
What's Saturn radius?
How many moons does it have?
Saturn was first spotted in 1610 by Galileo Galilei shortly after he had built his telescope.Saturn is mainly made up of hydrogen and helium and gets hotter the deeper you go in it but there is no physical surface.
Saturn rings which are the main feature are slightly less than 15 km thick it is though they are made up of small rocks ice and dust all almost orbiting Saturn as if Saturn is a Sun!
Saturn's average climate is -178 degrees Celsius so it is a cold planet.
Saturn compared to is only slightly smaller Jupiter is nearly the same but Jupiter is the king of the cosmos.Saturn's rings appear moving but it's not the planet orbiting it's the solar wind getting up to 1800 km an hour! That's the force of a hurricane wind✖️18. Saturn is the lightest planet in our solar system it is even lighter than water.
