saturn


Saturn is a planet located in the solar system where the planet is known as the ringed planet. Saturn is very far distance from the Sun. For this reason, Saturn was not too bright from Earth. Saturn evolved in 29.46 years. Every 378 days, Earth, Saturn, and the Sun will be in a straight line. Besides evolved, Saturn also berrotasi in a very short time, which is 10 hours 14 minutes.
Saturn has a low density because most of the constituent substances in the form of gases and liquids. Saturn's core is estimated to consist of solid rock. Saturn's atmosphere is made up of ammonia and methane gases. This certainly does not allow the existence of life on Saturn.
Saturn's rings is very unique. There are thousands and thousands of rings around the planet. This ring-forming material is still unknown. The scientists argued, the ring can not be made of solid sheet because it destroyed by centrifugal force. However, it is impossible also made of liquid due to centrifugal force causes waves. So far, the most likely expected to form the rings are chunks of ice meteorite.
Until 2006, Saturn has 56 known natural satellites of fruit. Seven of them massive enough to be spherical collapse under their own gravity. They are Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan (the largest satellite of size larger than the planet Mercury), and Iapetus.
