Saturn
is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet
in our solar system.
Adorned
with thousands of beautiful ringlets, Saturn is unique among
the planets. It is not the only planet to have rings—made
of chunks of ice and rock—but none are as spectacular or as
complicated as Saturn's.
Like fellow
gas giant Jupiter, Saturn is a massive ball made mostly of
hydrogen and helium.
