Saturn is the
sixth planet from the
Sun and
the second largest planet in the
Solar System, after
Jupiter. Named after the
Roman god
Saturn, its
astronomical symbol (♄) represents
the god's
sickle.
Saturn is a
gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of
Earth.While
only 1/8 the average density of Earth, with its larger volume Saturn
is just over 95 times more massive than Earth.
Saturn has a
ring system that consists of nine continuous main rings and
three discontinuous arcs, composed mostly of ice particles with a
smaller amount of rocky debris and
dust. Sixty-two[19]
known
moons orbit the planet; fifty-three are officially named. This
does not include the hundreds of "moonlets"
within the rings.
Titan, Saturn's largest and the Solar System's second largest
moon, is larger than the planet
Mercury and is the only moon in the Solar System to retain a
substantial atmosphere. |
