SPACE-SATURN

SATURN  IS  .THE  SIXTH   PLANET   from  the   Sun.It   is  a  gas   giant  as  big as  Jupiter,  with  an  equatorial  diameter   of about  120,500  kilometers.Saturn  is    thought  to   consist  of  a   small   core  of  rock   and  ice   surrounded  by an  inner  mantle  of  metallic    hydrogen  (liquid  hydrogen   that  act  like   a  metal )outside  the  inner  mantle    is  an  outer   mantle  of  liquid  hydrogen     that  merges  intormo  a  gaseous   atmosphere..Saturn's   clouds   form  belts   and zones   similar  to  those  on  Jupiter..but  obscured  by   overlying  haze .St  and  eddies  seen   as  red   or  white  ovals  occur  in  the  clouds .Saturn  has  an  extremely  thin  but  wide  system  of   rings  that  is  less  than  one  kilometre    thick  but extends   outwards   to about 420.000 km    from  the  planet's   surface .The   main  rings  comprises    thousands  of  narrow  ringlets ,  each  made  of icy lumps    that  range  in  size   from  tiny  particles  to  chunks    several  meters   across  .The  D.Eand  G  rings  are very  faint ,the  F ring  is brighter   and   the  A,B,C rings  are  brighter   enough   to   be  seen  from  the  Earth.  with  binoculars .Saturn  has  18  known  moons , some  of  which   orbits  inside  the  rings   and  are  thought  to exert  a  gravitational  influence  on  the shape of  the  rings.Unusually  ,seven  of  the  moons  are  co-orbital- they  share  an  orbit   with another  moon.
Astronomers   believe   that  such   co-orbital  moons  may  have  originated  from  a single satellite  that   broke    up.
