study of saturn

Saturn was the god of agriculture in Roman mythology.

Saturn is the sixth farthest planet from the Sun and the second largest.(95 times larger than the Earth!)

It is another giant gas planet.

People recognise Saturn because of its thousands of beautiful rings which are very bright. These rings are made up of lots of particles which circle Saturn at different speeds. They range in size from a couple of centimetres to several metres.

You can see Saturn at night with the naked eye and it is easy to identify because it doesn't "twinkle" like stars do.

Saturn has 18 known moons which is more than any other planet.
