is saturn a heavy atmosphere or no atmosphere?

It's all atmosphere with extreme pressures and heat towards the center, with possibly a liquid metallic core

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. It is a gas giant, the second-largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter. Saturn has a prominent system of rings, consisting of mostly ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. It was named after the Roman god Saturn. Its symbol is a stylized representation of the god's sickle

Saturn.  It's my favorite planet.  I guess because it is so different from the other planets.

About 87% of Jupiter's atmosphere is molecular hydrogen, about 13% helium.  It is believed that towards the core of the planet temperature and pressure become so extreme the hydrogen first liquefies, then assumes a metallic, earthlike material...or so we 'calculate'.  \n\nRegardless though, with cyclonic storms blowing over 400mph and temperatures of -193F, it would be a flight I'd not be willing to take!

According to my STARRY NIGHT astronomy software, Saturn is currently 9.625au from us. \nThe reason it varies is because the planets orbit around the sun aren't 100% perfect circles, and go round at different speeds, so aren't at a constant distance.

I doubt we know it yet.  We know of a limited number of stable atoms that can be found in our solar system, and a few that have been made by man, though many of the nam made ones are not stable.  Most of the heavier atoms were created during several Supernova explosions.  It is reasonable to suspect that a planet system that formed from the debris left from extremely massive Supernova, the energy from those explosions may have created some exotic element we are not even aware of yet.  Perhaps such element exist on Earth, but in such tiny amounts that we are not even aware they are there yet.

The sun is a giant ball of plasma constantly fusing hydrogen into helium.  It is not 'on fire', so to speak, so the lack of oxygen and the coldness of space don't effect it like a match or something.

It has a thick, dense atmosphere that is almost entirely nitrogen, like 98%. It is one of only four celestail bodies with a thick atmosphere: earth, Venus, Mars, and Saturn's moon Titan. Other planets or moons have very thin, wispy atmospheres about 1/800,000 that of earth's, but these are nothing more than trace gases and not a true atmosphere.

Neptune is a balmy 218 below...Celsius. As far as living there consider this:\n\na) Neptune is a gas planet, with no solid surface. We'd fall right through.\nb) We'd freeze.\nc) There is nothing for us to breathe there.\n\nThat's just the beginning of that list. The answer is no.

i would say it depends where in the sky. I'm sure it's different over a polluted city and somewhere between, say, Mars and Saturn.\nsorry if it doesn't answer ur question

adding to snagelfritz, there could bve life in a gas giant.  They would float on blimps, and be hunted by gliding organisms with sharp claws to tear right through them.  Several forms of life could exist in the solar system, like also on titan, there could have possibly been life, giving the fact that the atmosphere is made up of the same elements as ours!

Saturn has a density less than water.  It's density is 0.6873 g/cm^3.  Water has a density of 1g/cm^3.

(m)\n\n the gas planets have rings, but the rings of Uranus are a very faint. The rings cannot be seen from Earth but the Voyager spacecraft showed them. Astronomers get a hint of the rings when they occasionally block the light of a star behind them. Even the Hubble Space Telescope cannot get a very good view of the rings. While the rings of Saturn are made up of fairly small pieces of bright white ices, the rings of Uranus seem to be made of larger chunks of very dark, rocky material. The darkness of the chunks may help explain why they cannot be seen from Earth.

Yes.  There is a very small amount of matter that enters the atmosphere from space (meteorites), but essentially it is all just being recycled. Some atoms of oxygen you breathe in may have been breathed by a dinosaur, or one of the pharoahs!

Yes, Saturn's sky could appear blue to someone in it looking up during the day, if it were not cloudy or hazy. It would be blue for the same reason Earth's sky is blue, scattered sunlight. The sky on Mars is not blue because the air is too thin. The red color comes from dust in the air.

What is Saturn's surface temperature?\nSaturn's surface (well, its clouds) is quite cold, about –220° Fahrenheit. That is because it is so far from the sun. \n\nNOT hot at all.\n\n:)

Mercury has a very miniscule atmosphere (about two trillionths the pressure of earth's atmosphere) which consists of hydrogen and helium. Because the atmosphere is so thin, the sky is black.\n\nBecause mercury has no tilt, there are no seasons. It takes about 88 earth days to orbit the sun, and rotates very slowly (taking about 60 earth days). The temperature ranges from -168 degrees C at night, to +427 degrees C during the day. As the atmosphere is so weak (and almost non-existent), there is no greenhouse effect to retain the heat - hence the temperature quickly drops during the long slow night.\n\nFrom the surface of Mercury, the sun would appear to be three times bigger than it is on earth.\n\nVenus, being further away from the sun than Mercury, is even hotter - with a daytime temperature of 475 degrees C - due to the greenhouse effect.
