Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest planet in our solar system. Only Jupiter is larger. In spite of it's giant size, though, Saturn doesn't weigh very much. In fact, as a whole,Saturn is lighter than water and would float in a bathtub if you had one big enough (of course the water bill would be extremely high).

Someone on Carolyn Porco's team in the Space Science Institute in Boulder Colorado. They are the team responsible for analysing images that come back from the Cassini probe, which is currently orbiting Saturn and its moons. Carolyn Porco is the main mission scientist, is an expert on Saturn and has been involved in this research for decades. The discovery is still tentative, though. They  \n\nWilliam Herschel discovered Enceladus, not evidence of water - that was only announced a few weeks ago on March 6.

The planets were originally named by the Romans after their gods' names. However, they only knew the planets until Saturn, which is the farthest planet from Earth that can be observed by the naked human eye. Because of that, Uranus has the name of the Greek god of sky Ουρανός (Ouranos), instead of its correspondent in the roman mythology, Caelus.

Can you imagine living on Saturn with its rings and two moons. What a sight to behold. Here on the west coast at this time , it began to show itself at 1:49 am, rising from east to west. I am an avid star gazer and I love showing the ringed planet to all the children in the neighborhood. Big and small...large and tall, its a real treat to watch through my109mmscope.

(to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")\n\nI know the planets one by one\nStarting with the one that's closest to the sun.\nMercury, Venus, Earth and Mars,\nAre the first four among the stars.\nJupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune\nAre the next planets in my tune.\nPluto's the farthest one from the sun.\nI know the planets one by one.\n\nIf you like it choose it as best answer...... It would be a "Thank You" for what I've done.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest: \n\nSaturn has 34 named satellites: \n\nOf those moons for which rotation rates are known, all but Phoebe and Hyperion rotate synchronously. \n\nThe three pairs Mimas-Tethys, Enceladus-Dione and Titan-Hyperion interact gravitationally in such a way as to maintain stable relationships between their orbits: the period of Mimas' orbit is exactly half that of Tethys, they are thus said to be in a 1:2 resonance; Enceladus-Dione are also 1:2; Titan-Hyperion are in a 3:4 resonance.

"Saturn", the planet, was named after the Roman god Saturn -- their god of Agriculture.  However, about 200 BC when the Romans encountered the more sophisticated Greek deities, he was considered to be another name for Cronos, the father and ruler of the Titans (the series of gods that preceeded the Olympian gods such as Jupiter or Zeus).  Cronos, in turn, was combined with "Chronos" -- with an H -- which means "time".  Thus this name was pinned on the planet, the most remote of the visible planets, because it takes longer (30 years) to complete its orbit than any other.

The Scientists don't know yet, so if they don't know we don't know. We can only guess to what it is.\n\n\nScientists said it was unclear whether Saturn's storm was a water-driven system.\n\nIt differs from Earth hurricanes in part because it remains stuck at the pole rather than drifting as such storms do on this planet and because it did not form over a liquid water ocean, with Saturn being a gaseous planet, NASA said.\n\n"It looks like a hurricane, but it doesn't behave like a hurricane," Andrew Ingersoll, a member of Cassini's imaging team at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, said in a statement. "Whatever it is, we're going to focus on the eye of this storm and find out why it's there."\n\nFlasar said scientists have more work ahead to understand the Saturn storm.\n\n"I'm hoping that as we puzzle over it, it will become even more exciting as we start to connect the dots in our brains. But right now, the wheels are a little creaky," Flasar said. "We're all arguing with each other about what it might or might not be."

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.

Titian is one of Saturns 30+ moons.  It is the only moon in our solar system that has an atmosphere (that we know of at the moment), but unlike our atmosphere, it is made up of mostly Nitrogen and Methane gases.  \n\nSo far, life has only be confirmed to exist here on Earth, but some people are expecting to find it somewhere, sometime, so that creates a lot of excitement.  \nTo confirm life on Titan, we need more info. - in the form of another billion dollar space probe.

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

The first of the planets to be "discovered" was named after the muse of Astronomy (Urania). Uranus is also the name of Saturn's father. Uranus was discovered by William Herschel in 1781, though it had been mistakenly mapped in the past as a star. It is possible under the correct conditions to see Uranus with your just eye (no telescope), though it is pretty difficult to do, and you would need to have good eyesight and know exactly where to look to see it. Of course, you have to pronounce the name correctly. If you say something that sounds like "yer-anus," I don't think you'll make too many friends that way, unless they are proctologists. You should instead say the name as "yer-ah-nis" - not much of an improvement, but it may help.\n\nUranus is so far away that we can't get a great deal of information on it from this distance. A few things we can see are its tilt and rotation rate. Uranus is pretty much tipped over on its side. You know that the Earth is tilted over 23 1/2 degrees; Uranus is tilted over 98 degrees! This means it is on its side (since being 90 degrees would be exactly on its side). Due to this the seasons on Uranus are pretty extreme, especially if you are located at one of the poles. It takes Uranus about 84 years to go around the Sun, so the seasons last for about 21 years. If you were located at one of the poles, you would have 21 years of constant daylight during summer and 21 years of continual darkness during the winter. The temperatures would be pretty extreme. Not only is the planet tilted over, but the  rings and satellites are also in tilted orbits about Uranus. It is likely that early in its history the planet was knocked over by an impact and as the system formed (as the satellites and rings formed), they also ended up in tilted orientations.\n\n Figure 1. The orbit and tilt of Uranus are shown. Uranus is tilted pretty much on its side, so there are times when only certain parts of it will get any sunlight. This is especially true for the polar regions. \n\nThere are several very thin rings around Uranus. The rings were discovered from the Earth by accident in 1977. Astronomers were trying to study the atmosphere of the planet by watching how the light of a star would change (get absorbed by the atmosphere) as the planet moved in front of it. Before the star was anywhere close to the planet, the star's brightness faded several times. This happened again when the star was located on the other side of the planet. Now it is possible that the star could have been eclipsed by some moons, but that would have required some very precise alignments of the moons with the distant star. Rings were the cause for the dimming of the starlight! The rings are rather similar to Jupiter's ring in that they are made of darker material as well as small microscopic particles - stuff like dust. Uranus actually has 11 main rings, far fewer than Saturn.\n\n Figure 2. The dimming of a star's light as it approached Uranus indicated that there are rings around Uranus. \n\nViewing Uranus from the Earth doesn't provide much information, so let's send a spacecraft out there. Actually, we have - the only spacecraft to visit Uranus was Voyager 2 in January of 1986. The other Voyager spacecraft did not visit any other planets after its encounter with Saturn, while Voyager 2 continued on to Uranus and Neptune. All of the up close images we have of them are from that one spacecraft. What did it see?\n\nWhen Voyager 2 flew by Uranus, there were no cloud features (spots) as had been seen on Jupiter and Saturn. In fact, there are no markings at all; the atmosphere of Uranus appeared to be very dull. This was really surprising, since at the time that the Voyager spacecraft flew by Uranus, one of the poles was pointed toward the Sun. Astronomers thought that this would have caused the atmosphere to heat up a great deal and therefore produce a bunch of storms. It was a bit co

It was 63 at the last census. Saturn has 56, Uranus 27, Neptune 13, Mars 2 and Earth 1 making 162 planetary moons in all,\n\nFirst to be discovered (in European culture)  were Io, Callisto, Europa and Ganymede in January 1610, by Galileo. But the Chinese astronomer Gan De is reported to have seen one of the moons of Jupiter (possibly Ganymede) with his naked eye in 364 BC,  Nearly 2,000 years earlier.\n\n15 of the moons still lack a name, and only have a designation.

Off the top of my head: both are "gas giant" planets, but Jupiter is WAY bigger. Jupiter has a ton of satellite moons orbiting around it. Saturn has that weird-ass ring going around it which they just discovered is not a ring but more a like a spiral. Jupiter has this storm that never ends, that looks like a spot. Imagine a hurricane that never ended on Earth. Also Saturn has a heavy core for some reason. You could probably land on Saturn, but not in Jupiter. I wonder what it looks like when you land there.

Saturn's temperature ranges from -139 C at the cloudtops to 11,700 C at the core.  So the answer is yes, depending on where you are.
