Saturn's ring is made out of ice. The ring is made out of ice,each ice is big as a car.The circle around the planet like tiny moons and shine by reflecing sunlight on the surface.From earth saturn looks like it is a bright star in space like the sun.Saturn is made out of gas. Saturn takes not long to orbit By Harry

Saturn has 7 main rings. Saturn was named after the Roman God of agriculture. A day on Saturn last 10 hours and 39 minutes. The average temperature on Saturn is -140 deg C. 764 planets the size of Earth could fit into Saturn. Saturn is the furtherest planet you can see with the naked eye (this doesn't mean your eyes don't have any clothes on!!). Every 14-15 years Saturn turns on its side. When this happens, Saturn's rings almost disappear from our view. The lightning on Saturn is estimated to be 1000 times more powerful than on Earth, producing some extremely dangerous storms by Josh C

Saturn is probably the best known planet and also the beautiful planet in the solar system.Saturn's ring is not unique. It is the ring that makes the solar system shine. Saturn is the second biggest planet in the solar system. The dimeter is 120,000 kilometers. It obits the sun every 30 years. It is about 10 times the size of earth. The shape of the planet is a markedly oblate spheroid. Saturn is the most dense of all the planes,it's means density being only 0.7 times that of water. Like Jupiter, Saturn is made mostly of helium and also hydrogen. It's volume is 775times greater than of earth. Saturn is named for the Roman god of agriculture. The Greek equivalent was corns,father of Zeus/Jupiter. By James Paul

Saturn was the most distant of the five planets known to the ancients. In 1610 Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei was the first to discover Saturn from a telescope. In 1659, Dutch astronomer Christaan Huygens , using a more powerful telescope than Galileo's proposed that Saturn was surounded by a thin flat ring. In 1675, Italian-born astronomer Jean-Dominique Cassini discovered a "division" between what are now the A and B rings. By James Paul

Saturn obits the sun in 30 years that is a lot of years Saturn ring is surounded by rock ice and gas. Jupiter,Saturn,uranus and neptune are all main gas and all of those planet are called the giant planets all of them have ring to Saturn has the most. By James Paul

Saturn's rings are not solid. some are the size of a golf balls and others are the size of a bus! Saturn is 740 times the size of Earth. It's rings are 270 000 km across twice the size of Saturn. One of Saturn's moons is the second largest moon in the solar syestem it is even bigger than Mercury! ====== Josh C

**Some more interesting facts about Saturn - by Billy** **Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system. It is huge. You could line up nine earths in a row across Saturn, but as it is largely composed of gas, you could not land a craft on its surface.** **Saturn isnt the only planet with rings, but it is the only planet whose rings are visible to us because of their large area. The rings are made up of dust, and rock.** **A day on Saturn lasts just 10 hours and 40 minutes.** **Each ring is made up of tiny ringlets.** **Inside the centre of Saturn is a core of rock and ice.** **Even if you could land on Saturn, you'd be blown away pretty quickly by the incredible strong winds. Winds around the planet's equator can reach 1800 kilometers an hour.** In 1997 **, the Cassini spacecraft blasted off for Saturn with a spaceprobe named Huygens on board. Cassini went into orbit around Saturn in June 2004 and Huygens was dropped onto its largest moon Titan in 2005.** **By Billy**

**Saturn is the second biggest planet and earth** **is the sixth biggest planet. Saturn can fit 755** **earth's in it.** **By James Paul**

Saturn's Moon Titan - it is the 2nd largetst moon in the solar system, it is bigger than Mercury and Pluto. They may have found water here - maybe humans could live here one day????

By Josh C.

Saturn moon the Titan surface is made out of gas and the moon is the second largest moon in the Solar system the moon the Titan is also bigger Than mercury.

By James Paul

The planet Saturn can fit 755 earths in it but Jupiter is bigger than Saturn so it can fit more too.Jupiter is the biggest planet and Saturn is the second biggest.

My shell reminds me of Saturn. Oh! well, Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun with rings around it that can only be seen by telescope.

So that’s why my shell doesn't have rings. If you want to see it, buy a telescope!

No. Above Saturn's clouds the temperature is FREEZING. But when you see the core, it's ice but it's PETRIFIEINGLY hot. Strange, eh?

Are you calling my shell pretty?

Once again, NO. Saturn has at least 60 moons, one of them is called Titan named after the Roman god's brothers, the Titan's. It was one of its first discovered moons. it Has actual liquid on its surface. By Steven
