Description
With a mass of 5.683×10²⁶ kg and a radius of 58,232 km, Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar System and the 6th planet from the sun, know for its brilliant rings. Sitting about 9.5 AU from the sun, or approximately 1.4 billion km, Saturn's beauty is undeniable. The Gas Giant is encircled by its majestic rings, made up of ice particles, rock debris, and dust, reflecting sunlight to create a spectacle observable from millions of kilometers away. It's home to at least 82 moons, with its largest, Titan, surpassing even Mercury in size. Titan is surrounded by a thick and dense atmosphere filled with nitrogen and organic, carbon-rich compounds, making it a subject of study and fascination. Another of Saturn's moons, Enceladus, ejects jets of water ice from its surface and into space, forming Saturn's "E-Ring". The cause of this cryovolcanism is the result of a tugging force between Saturn and its other moons on Enceladus, stretching and heating the icy moon's interior.
