The planet Saturn is the sixth planet from our sun and it is the second largest in our solar system. It has a diamete of 119,300 kilometers or 74130 miles. Much of the stuff we know about the planet Saturn we have learned is from Voyager's exploration in 1980-1981. A day on the planet Saturn is 10 hours and 39 minutes long and it takes about 25.5 Earth years to travel around the sun. Saturn's atmosphere is primarly made up of hydrogen but there are some small traces of helium and methane. It is the only planet that is less dense then water, which is less than 30%. So if Saturn there was a large enough ocea that Saturn could fit into the planet would float. Also its rings make the planet one of the most beauityful object in our universe and it has 18 known moons.
