Saturn turns on its axis once every 10 hours and 34 minutes giving it the second-shortest day of any of the solar system\u2019s planets.<\/li>\n<li><i>Saturn orbits the Sun once every 29.4 Earth years.<\/i><br \/>\nIts slow movement against the backdrop of stars earned it the nickname of \u201cLubadsagush\u201d from the ancient Assyrians. The name means \u201coldest of the old\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><i>Saturn\u2019s upper atmosphere is divided into bands of clouds.<\/i><br \/>\nThe top layers are mostly ammonia ice. Below them, the clouds are largely water ice. Below are layers of cold hydrogen and sulfur ice mixtures.<\/li>\n<li><i>Saturn has oval-shaped storms similar to Jupiter\u2019s.<\/i><br \/>\nThe region around its north pole has a hexagonal-shaped pattern of clouds. Scientists think this may be a wave pattern in the upper clouds. The planet also has a vortex over its south pole that resembles a hurricane-like storm.<\/li>\n<li><i>Saturn is made mostly of hydrogen.<\/i><br \/>\nIt exists in layers that get denser farther into the planet. Eventually, deep inside, the hydrogen becomes metallic. At the core lies a hot interior.<\/li>\n<li><i>Saturn has the most extensive rings in the solar system.<\/i><br \/>\nThe 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.<\/li>\n<li><i>Saturn has 150 moons and smaller moonlets.<\/i><br \/>\nAll are frozen worlds. The largest moons are Titan and Rhea. Enceladus appears to have an ocean below its frozen surface.<\/li>\n<li><i>Titan is a moon with complex and dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere.<\/i><br \/>\nIt is composed mostly of water ice and rock. Its frozen surface has lakes of liquid methane and landscapes covered with frozen nitrogen. Planetary scientists consider Titan to be a possible harbour for life, but not Earth-like life.<\/li>\n<li><i>Four spacecraft have visited Saturn.<\/i><br \/>\nPioneer 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and the Cassini-Huygens mission have all studied the planet. Cassini orbited Saturn from July 2004 until September 2017, sending back a wealth of data about the planet, its moons, and rings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturn can be seen with the naked eye.
