Saturn

  • Saturn takes around 10.7 hours to fully rotate on its axis, and it takes 29 Earth years for Saturn to orbit the Sun.
  • The temperature on Saturn ranges from -188℉ (-122℃) to -300℉ (-185℃).
  • Saturn is a gas-giant planet and does not have a solid surface.
  • Saturn has 53 known moons with 29 more whose existence is waiting to be confirmed.
  • Excluding Saturn’s rings, 9 Earths would almost span Saturn’s diameter.
  • Saturn’s mass is 95 times the mass of the Earth.
  • Its density is less than that of water. It would float in your bathtub (if you had a big enough bathtub)!
  • A person whose weight is 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 108 pounds on Saturn.
  • Saturn’s atmosphere is made up mostly of Hydrogen and Helium.
  • Saturn's best-known feature is its rings. They are made up of ice and rock and are thought to be the remnants of comets and asteroids that collided with Saturn’s moons and shattered them into the pieces we see today.
