Saturn

Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and also named by the god of harvest and agriculture.It is most famous for its beautiful rings! Scientists discovered its seven rings one by one.It looks like a solid ring but it is false its rings are made up of billion of chunks of ice,rocks and some part of it was also created when a moon of Saturn was destroyed by Saturn's super strong gravitational pull.Actually rings are formed when a moon or an asteroid touches the roach limit of a planet.The roach limit is a zone from where the gravitational pull of a planet starts.Like Jupiter Saturn has also protected earth from hundreds of asteroids!

Fact time!

1.Saturn will lose it rings in a few million years because of its increased gravitational force!

2.Saturn is the lightest planet in the solar system.If you had a big enough bathtub to put Saturn in it ,it would float instead of sinking!!

3.Saturn's rings are very thin,if you had a scale with you enough to measure Saturn's rings,it would be thinner then a razor blade!!

4.Saturn has now more moons than Jupiter!At 2016 there were 67 moons with Jupiter and 62 moons with Saturn,but in 2019 scientists discovered 20 new moons of Saturn!!!

5.Saturn's moon 'Lapetus' is a very unique moon,its one side is very light but the other side is forever dark!
