A common confusion; Triton is the largest moon of Neptune, with a diameter of 2,700 kilometers (1,680 miles). It was discovered by William Lassell, a British astronomer, on October 10, 1846 scarcely a month after Neptune was discovered. \n\nTitan is the largest moon of Saturn. Discovered by Christiaan Huygens in 1655, Titan is larger than the Earth and the second largest moon in the solar system, rivalled only by Jupiter's moon Ganymede. \n\nI have seen photos of the surface of Titan and its sand and rocks are an orangey red colour. A probe (Huygens) landed there.

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.

Io is a large, rocky, volcanically active moon of Jupiter. Its volcanoes spew out molten sulfur, making Io a very colorful moon. It is the innermost of Jupiter's four large moons and the third largest. It has a diameter of 1,942 miles (3,636 km), very close in size to our moon. Io's mean distance from Jupiter is 220,000 miles (422,000 km). It has a mass of 8.93x1022 kg. It takes Io 1.77 days to orbit Jupiter. There is a doughnut-shaped plasma cloud around Jupiter near Io's orbit (known as the "Io plasma torus") This torus is caused by Jupiter's strong magnetic field, which strips ions from Io as it rotates; Io acts like an electrical generator. Io was discovered by Galileo and Marius (independently) in 1610. \n\nGanymede is the largest moon of Jupiter, a large, icy, outer moon that is scarred with impact craters and many parallel faults. It has a diameter of about 3,400 miles (5,268 km) and orbits Jupiter at a mean distance of 664,000 miles (1,070,000 km). It has a magnetic field and probably has a molten iron core. It takes Ganymede 171.75 hours (7.15 Earth days) to orbit Jupiter. Its mass is 1.48x1023 kg. It was discovered by Galileo and S. Marius (independently) in 1610. Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system; it is also larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto.\n\nEuropa is a large, dense, icy moon of Jupiter. Europa is the smoothest object in our Solar System. Its surface is covered with long, crisscrossing trackways (but few craters) on water ice. Frozen sulfuric acid has been found on its surface. Europa's diameter is less than 2,000 miles (3,138 km), smaller than the Earth's moon. It takes Europa 3.55 days to orbit Jupiter (in a synchronous orbit). Its mean distance from Jupiter is about 420,000 miles (670,900 km). Its mass is 4.80x1022 kg. It was discovered by Galileo and S. Marius (independently) in 1610.

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

Check the first link for the pics.\n\nSaturn's equator is tilted relative to its orbit by 27 degrees, very similar to the 23-degree tilt of the Earth. As Saturn moves along its orbit, first one hemisphere, then the other is tilted towards the Sun. This cyclical change causes seasons on Saturn, just as the changing orientation of Earth's tilt causes seasons on our planet. The first image in this sequence, on the lower left, was taken soon after the autumnal equinox in Saturn's Northern Hemisphere (which is the same as the spring equinox in its Southern Hemisphere). By the final image in the sequence, on the upper right, the tilt is nearing its extreme, or winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere).\n\nAstronomers are studying this set of images to investigate the detailed variations in the color and brightness of the rings. They hope to learn more about the rings' composition, how they were formed, and how long they might last. Saturn's rings are incredibly thin, with a thickness of only about 30 feet (10 meters). The rings are made of dusty water ice, in the form of boulder-sized and smaller chunks that gently collide with each other as they orbit around Saturn. Saturn's gravitational field constantly disrupts these ice chunks, keeping them spread out and preventing them from combining to form a moon. The rings, as shown here, have a slight pale reddish color due to the presence of organic material mixed with the water ice.\n\nSaturn is about 75,000 miles (120,000 km) across, and is flattened at the poles because of its very rapid rotation. A day is only 10 hours long on Saturn. Strong winds account for the horizontal bands in the atmosphere of this giant gas planet. The delicate color variations in the clouds are due to smog in the upper atmosphere, produced when ultraviolet radiation from the Sun shines on methane gas. Deeper in the atmosphere, the visible clouds and gases merge gradually into hotter and denser gases, with no solid surface for visiting spacecraft to land on. \n\n\nThe second link tells you something about Saturn\n\nst

At the temperatures on Saturn, water would be frozen solid below the methane atmosphere, so we can't say anything about water molecules on the planet.\n\nThe Saturn Rings may contain water ice.\n\nWhat can be said with certainty is that both bound hydrogen and bound oxygen can be found on and around Saturn.

According to NASA, \n\n"The Wiccans' consider the second New Moon of a given month to be the "Black Moon," and any magic performed on this night is expected to be particularly potent."\n\nA "blue moon" is the second full moon in one month.

Nope it has to be 2 full moons.  Not 2 new moons.  There's only been one full moon this month.  there will be, however, two new moons.  one was on the 1st and the other will be the 31st....  the full moon happened on December 15th.\n\nA "Blue Moon" is the name given to the second full moon in a calendar month. Because there are roughly 29.5 days between full moons, it is unusual for two full moons to "fit" into a 30 or 31 day month (and impossible to fit into a 28 or 29 day month, so February can never have a Blue Moon). The saying "Once in a Blue Moon" means a rare occurrence, and predates the current astronomical use of the term, which is quite recent. In fact, Blue Moons are not all that rare, on average there will be one Blue Moon every 2.5 years. After 1999, the next Blue Moons will be in November 2001; July 2004; and June 2007. The last one before 1999 was in July 1996. \nThe term Blue Moon is believed to have originated in 1883 after the eruption of Krakatoa. The volcano put so much dust in the atmosphere that the Moon actually looked blue in color. This was so unusual that the term "once in a Blue Moon" was coined. However, Blue Moon was also used in much the same way we use the term "Harvest Moon". There were twelve names for full moons, one for each month, and the name Blue Moon was used in years which had 13 full moons. It referred to the third full moon of the four occuring between an equinox and solstice in that year. A misinterpretation of this led to a Sky and Telescope Magazine "Star Quiz" in July 1943 followed by an article in March 1946 which stated that the second full moon in any calendar month was called a Blue Moon (attributed to the 1937 Maine Farmers' Almanac), and this definition has now become part of the language. \n\nIn January and March of 1999, we had a situation which only takes place about four times a century: two Blue Moons occurring in the same year. The last time this happened was in January and April of 1961 and it will not happen again until January and March of 2018. A double Blue Moon most commonly occurs in January/March but is also possible in January/April or January/May and only when there is no full moon at all in February. It is also possible to have a Blue Moon in December of one year and March of the next year, again, there is no full moon in the intervening February. \n\nThat might have been way more info than you wanted, but now you know... and knowing is half the battle.

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no formal English name other than "the Moon", although it is occasionally called Luna (Latin: moon), or Selene (Greek: moon), to distinguish it from the generic term "moon" (referring to any of the various natural satellites of other planets). Its symbol is a crescent (). The related adjective for the Moon is lunar (again from the Latin root), but this is not found in combination, the combining forms seleno-/-selene (again from the Greek) and -cynthion (from the Lunar deity Cynthia) being used in terms relating to the Moon in various other contexts (e.g. aposelene, selenocentric, pericynthion, etc.).\n\nThe average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,401 kilometres (238,857 mi). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 kilometres (2,160 mi). Reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface reaches Earth in approximately 1.3 seconds (at the speed of light). The Moon is the Solar System's fifth largest moon, both by diameter and mass, ranking behind Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, and Io.\n\nThe Soviet Union's (USSR) Luna program was the first to reach the Moon with unmanned vehicles, or space probes: The first man-made object to escape Earth's gravity and pass near the Moon was Luna 1 in 1959. The first man-made object to impact the lunar surface was Luna 2, also in 1959. The first photographs of the normally occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year. The first spacecraft to perform a successful lunar soft landing was Luna 9 in 1966. The first (unmanned) vehicle to orbit the Moon was Luna 10 in 1966.\n\nThe United States' Apollo program achieved the first (and only) manned missions to the Moon: The first manned mission to orbit the Moon was Apollo 8 in 1968, and the first people to land and walk on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 in 1969. The unsuccessful Soviet manned Moon project was abandoned in 1974. The Moon is the only celestial body other than the Earth upon which humans have set foot.\n\nThe two sides of the Moon\nThe Moon is in synchronous rotation, meaning that it keeps nearly the same face turned toward Earth at all times. Small variations resulting from the finite eccentricity of the lunar orbit, termed optical librations, allow up to about 59% of the lunar surface to be visible from Earth. The side of the Moon that faces Earth is called the near side, and the opposite side is called the far side. The far side should not be confused with the dark side, as the unilluminated hemisphere only corresponds to the far side during full moon. In fact, the far side receives (on average) slightly more sunlight than the near side due to lunar eclipse. Spacecraft are cut off from direct radio communication with Earth when behind the Moon due to line-of-sight propagation. One distinguishing feature of the far side is its almost complete lack of maria (singular: mare), which are the dark albedo features.\n\nOrbit and relationship to Earth\n \nA scale model of Earth and the MoonMain articles: The Moon's orbit and Earth and Moon\nSee also: Libration \nThe Moon makes a complete orbit about the Earth approximately once every 27.3 days. It is at present in its 4th quarter, illuminated by ca. -155% . Unlike most satellites of other planets, the Moon orbits near the ecliptic and not the Earth's equatorial plane.\n\nThe Earth and Moon have many physical effects upon one another, including the tides. Most of the tidal effects seen on the Earth are caused by the Moon's gravitational pull, with a smaller contribution from the Sun. Tidal effects result in an increase of the mean Earth-Moon distance, over long periods of time, of about 4 meters per century. As a result of the conservation of angular momentum, the increasing semimajor axis of the Moon is accompanied by a gradual slowing of the Earth's rotation.\n\nThe Earth-Moon system may be considered to be a double planet rather than a planet-moon system.[3] This is due

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

snow is composed of water and ice. \n\nthe planet saturn does not have water. its atmosphere is made of hydrogen and helium gases, ammonia, and small amounts of other gases. its core is surrounded by a shell of solid hydrogen, which is in turn surrounded by a shell of liquid hydrogen. \n\nwhile saturn does not have snow, one of its moons, titan, does. titan, with its temperature just 4 degrees centigrade above the "triple-point" temp of methane, produces methane snow and solid methane ice, methane liquid and methane vapor gas.

Saturn. It's density, if I remember right is something on the order of .97 gm/cc. I remember seeing an illustration in an old book of Saturn floating in a sea.
