	Saturn
		Early observations of Saturn were complicated by the fact that the Earth passes through the plane of Saturn's rings every few years as Saturn moves in its orbit.
		Saturn's interior is similar to Jupiter's consisting of a rocky core, a liquid metallic hydrogen layer and a molecular hydrogen layer.
		Saturn's outermost ring, the F-ring, is a complex structure made up of several smaller rings along which "knots" are visible.

	Saturn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saturn's interior is similar to Jupiter's, having a rocky core at the center, a liquid metallic hydrogen layer above that, and a molecular hydrogen layer above that.
		Saturn's usually bland atmosphere occasionally exhibits long-lived ovals and other features common on Jupiter; in 1990 the Hubble Space Telescope observed an enormous white cloud near Saturn's equator which was not present during the Voyager encounters and in 1994 another, smaller storm was observed.
		Saturn appears to the naked eye in the night sky as a bright, yellowish star varying usually between magnitude +1 and 0 and takes approximately 29 and a half years to make a complete circuit of the ecliptic against the background constellations of the zodiac.

		Saturn is supposed to have abdicated the govemment in favour of his three sons and one daughter, Jupiter, Pluto, Neptune, and Juno; after this, thousands of other gods and demigods were imaginarily created, and the calendar of gods increased as fast as the calendar of saints and the calendar of courts have increased since.

	Saturn
		In Saturn's case, the heavier helium is slowly making its way through the hydrogen, generating heat (from friction) as it goes.
		Besides this, Saturn's outer atmosphere is not nearly as turbulent as Jupiter's.
		Saturn is basically one big atmosphere - as far as we know, there is no real surface to the planet.

		Saturn spins so fast that it bulges outward at the equator, so the planet is much thicker at the equator than through the poles.

		Saturn, the sixth planet from the sun, is one of the five planets visible from Earth without a telescope.
		Since the 17th century, when Saturn's dazzling, complex ring system was first observed by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, the planet has stood as a symbol of the majesty, mystery, and order of the physical universe.
		Although Galileo was the first to see Saturn's rings (in 1610) it wasn't until 1659 that the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, using an improved telescope, observed that the rings actually are separate from the planet.

	Voyager - Science - Planetary Voyage - Saturn
		Voyager 1 found that about 7 percent of the volume of Saturn's upper atmosphere is helium (compared with 11 percent of Jupiter's atmosphere), while almost all the rest is hydrogen.
		Since Saturn's internal helium abundance was expected to be the same as Jupiter's and the Sun's, the lower abundance of helium in the upper atmosphere may imply that the heavier helium may be slowly sinking through Saturn's hydrogen; that might explain the excess heat that Saturn radiates over energy it receives from the Sun.
		While Voyager 2 was behind Saturn, its radio beam penetrated the upper atmosphere, and measured temperature and density.

	Saturn
		Saturn is the least dense of all the planets, its mean density being only 0.7 times that of water.
		Because Saturn is colder than Jupiter, the more colourful chemicals occur lower in its atmosphere and are not seen; this results in much less dramatic markings, but they are similar to those seen on Jupiter, taking the form of bands with some smallish spots.
		Saturn's rings were first seen by Galileo, but were identified as a ring system by Huygens in 1656.
