Saturn


Saturn's axis is tilted like Earth's, giving it seasons. Saturn has over 30 moons. 1 moon, called Titan, is almost as big as Mercury! Most of the moons are in the rings.

Saturn has thousands of rings. Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system. The stripes on the planet are bands of clouds blown by 1000 mph winds. The rings and the bands make Saturn appear beautiful to us, but it's freezing cold and too stormy for us to survive there.

Saturn is, like Jupiter, a gaseous planet, so we couldn't walk around on it like the earth or our moon. The gases are mostly hydrogen and helium.

Next is Uranus. Don't lose your temper!:)
