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.
