Why Saturn?
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun, and the second largest in the solar system. It’s surrounded by beautiful rings.
- Saturn has the most spectacular ring system, with seven rings and several gaps and divisions between them.
- Saturn is a gas-giant planet and therefore does not have a solid surface like Earth’s. But it might have a solid core somewhere in there.
- Saturn takes about 10.7 hours (no one knows precisely) to rotate on its axis once—a Saturn “day”—and 29 Earth years to orbit the sun.
