Saturn

Science Concept & Application

Why is Saturn important ?  Saturn is considered important because of its prominent ring system,which is easily visible from earth ,making it one of the most recognizable planets in the solar system.
Saturn's large size and gravitational influence significantly impact the solar system’s dynamics,potentially helping to shape the orbits of the other planets  like Uranus and Neptune.

Saturn is a gas giant  made up mostly of hydrogen and helium .Saturn's volume is greater than 760 earth’s , and it is the second most massive planet in the solar system ,about 95 times Earth’s mass . The ringed planet is the least dense of all the planet’s and is the only one less dense than  water.

Sentences  have learned that Saturn has the shortest day in the solar system . One day on Saturn takes only 10.7 hours (the time it takes for Saturn to rotate or spin around once ) ,and Saturn makes a complete orbit around the sun( a year in Saturnian time ) in about 29.4 earth years 10,756 earth days.

Scientist

Galileo galilei was the first to observe  saturn with a telescope in 1610 .because of the crudeness of his telescope, he couldn't determine  what the rings were 
He incorrectly  guessed  that there were too large moons  on either side of  Saturn . two years later  when he viewed  saturn again  The moons had disappeared.
