1. #Saturn:-
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in the solar system,After Jupiter , It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine times that of Earth, it only has one- eight the average density of Earth, However with its large volume saturn is over 95 times more massive,

Orbital -period - 24 years,
Distance fron sun- 1.434 billion km,
Lenght of day- od 10h 92m
Radius: 58,232 km
The planets most famous features is its prominent Ring system, which is composed mostly of ice particies with a smaller amount of rocky orbits and dust ,At least 82 Moons are know to orbit saturn of which 53 are hundreds of moonlets in its rings , Titan saturn"s largest moons and the second largest of the solar system , it is larger than the planet mercury although less massive and is the only moon in the solar system to have a substantial atmosphere

Physical characteristics
Saturn is a gas giant because it is predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium,It lacks a difinite surface through it may have a solid core, Saturn rotation causes , it to have the shape of an oblate spheroid that is , it is flattened at the poles and bulges at its equator , its equatorial and polar radii differ by almost 10% 60.268 km versus 54,346 km, Jupiter uranus and Neptane, the solar system are also oblate but to a lesser extent, The combination of the bulge and rotation rate means that the effective surface gravity along the equator, 8.96 m/s is 74% that at the poles and is lower than the surface gravity of Earth,However the equatorial escape velocity of neary 36 km is much higher than for Earth,
Saturn is the only one planet the solar system, that is less dense than water about 30% less although saturn core is considered denser than water , The average specifics density of the planet is 0.69 g/cm due the atmosphere , jupiter has saturn is 95 times Earth's mass, and saturn hold 92% of the total planet plametary mass in the solar system,
#2.What are 5 facts about saturn ?
đŸ‘‰Saturn is the least dense planet in the Solar system
- Saturn is a flattened ball
- The first astronomers through the were moons,
- Saturn has only been visited 4 times by spacecraft
- Saturn has 62 moons,
- The lenght of a day on sarurn Mystery untill recently,
- Saturn rings could be old on they could be young
#3 . Is saturn still a planet ?
Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun with the largest planetary rings in the solar system, It is second largest planet a after jupiter and recently with many other moons,
#4. Can we people live on saturn ?
What is would be like to live on saturns moons, Titan and Enceladus. saturn and its rings are the jewel of the solar system , but the gas giant's lack of a surface means humans won't likly find a foothold there .. without a solid surface Saturn isn't likely a place we could ever live,
#5 can we breathe on saturn ?
First, you can't stand on saturn, It's not a nice, solid rocky planet like Earth Rather , it's made mostly of gases... with these wind speeds, even if there was oxygen in saturn's atmosphere , you still wouldn't be able to breathe because the air would be sucked from your lungs,
