THE BEAUTIFUL PLANET

 SATURN

JWELVE OF SOLAR SYSTEM

Saturn is a Planet of Mystery and it is too different from the other Planets in the Solar System. It has a Great Ringed-Structure around it and it also has 82 Moons. It is also the Planet which contains huge number of Moons. Some of the Moons has Atmosphere and some has the eligibility to produce Organisms. How Saturn is different from other Planets and other Moons? Let’s see about it.

NATURE OF SATURN:

We all know that Saturn is the Sixth Planet of our Solar System. It is also the Second largest Planet in the Solar System. It is famous for its ringed structure. It is also a Gas-Giant. So, the weight of Saturn is very low. It is 0.6gram/cm³. It is lesser than the density of the Water. So, It floats in Water. The density of our Earth is 5.5gram/cm³. The mass of Earth is 7 times greater than Saturn. You can’t stand in that Planet. Because, It is a Gas Giant.

The core of the Planet may contain a Solid Rock. Saturn is made up of 96% Hydrogen and 4% Helium. Saturn is also a Failed Star. The name Saturn comes from the Roman God name. Saturn is the God of Time and Agriculture. Saturn takes to complete one rotation around itself. One day of Saturn is 10 Earth hours. It takes 30 Years to complete one revolution around the Sun. Because, The distance of Saturn from the Sun is equal to twice the distance of JUPITER to the Sun. Due to the fast rotation around itself makes Saturn to bulge in Equators. 

JWELVE OF SOLAR SYSTEM:

The surface of the Saturn is made up of gases. But, some of the region contains Ammonium crystals. It gives the Gold color to the Planet. So, Saturn is also called as the “JWELVE OF SOLAR SYSTEM”. Saturn reflects 62% of the Sun’s Light. It is one of the Planet which is visible to our naked eye. Cyclones are also forms easier in the Saturn. The average speed of these winds in Saturn is 1000km/hr.

In the top of the Planet there is a Cyclone that is Hexagonal Shaped. But, The shape of a Cyclone is circle right? The Hexagonal cyclone is due to the wind from six different sides. The Gravity of Saturn is 2.6 times greater than Earth’s Gravity. If you weight is 100kgs in Earth. Your Weight on Saturn is 260kgs. It also has the strong Magnetic Field. 

RINGS OF SATURN:

While learning about Saturn we must also learn about its Rings. How the Rings of Saturn formed? No one knows the correct exact answer. It is perfectly matched to Saturn. It has Seven layers of rings. The major rings are made up of Ice. Some of them are smaller than Dust. Some of them are greater than Mountains. The total length of the rings is 15 Million Kilometers. But, the thickness of the rings are only 0.1 Million Kilometer. The Moons separates the rings to made them perfect. Two rings are not joined. All the rings are separated. Scientists guess that within 100 Million Years, Saturn losses its rings completely. 

MOONS OF SATURN:

Let’s see about the Moons of Saturn. There are 82 Moons and counting. Because, An object that revolves around a Planet is considered as its Moons. So, most of the objects in the ringed structure is its Moons. But, there are totally 82 Moons is confirmed and named. Let’s see about the important Moons. You already know about TITAN. It is greater than Pluto and Mercury. It is the second largest Moon in our Solar System.

It is special because, It contains atmosphere like our Earth. It also contains rivers. But, the rivers are filled with Methane. The Poles of this Moon is covered with Solid Nitrogen. There is also a Methane Rain will fall in Titan. If it combines with Oxygen It will burst. So, Titan has negligible amount of Oxygen. Titan may contain the Methane based Organisms. Ria is a small Moon. It is the size of the state Tamil Nadu located in India. The atmosphere of this Moon is made up of 70% Oxygen and 30% of Carbon-Di-Oxide. So, It may contains organisms. 

THE CONCLUSION:

Saturn is the most likely Planet and the most Famous Planet in the Solar System. Even though Saturn is special, famous and beauty, It must not  special or famous or beauty then our Earth.
