Saturn
-the second-largest in the Solar System, after
Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius
about nine times that of Earth.
-average distance between Saturn and the Sun is
over 1.4 billion kilometers
-it takes Saturn 10,759 Earth days (or about 29
1⁄2 years)to finish one revolution around the
Sun.
 Fun Facts:
-You cannot stand on Saturn. It is not like Earth. Saturn is made mostly of
gases. It has a lot of helium.
-Its beautiful rings are not solid. They are made up of bits of ice, dust and
rock.
-It is very windy on Saturn. Winds around the equator can be 1,800
kilometers per hour. That's 1,118 miles per hour! On Earth, the fastest winds
"only" get to about 400 kilometers per hour. That's only about 250 miles per
hour.
 Fun Facts:
-Saturn spins on its axis very fast. A day on Saturn is 10 hours and 14
minutes.
-Saturn has oval-shaped storms similar to Jupiter’s.
-The Saturnian rings are made mostly of chunks of ice and small amounts of
carbonaceous dust. The rings stretch out more than 120,700 km from the
planet, but are are amazingly thin: only about 20 meters thick.
