What are some prominent features of Saturn?
Saturn is a gas giant in the outer solar system, just behind the orbit of the Jupiter. He is known for his large, beautiful rings and numerous months, including one with his own Titan atmosphere. Saturn orbits about 9 AU (distances of the solar land) from the Sun, which happens every 29.5 years. The day of the week of Saturday is a name from Saturn. It is named after the Roman god Saturnus, the father of Jupiter. Saturn with the naked eye can be considered a yellowish star, but to see how his rings take a telescope or telescope.
Saturn is the most fellow planet in the solar system - that is, its diameter is approximately 10% greater than the distance between its poles. This is due to a combination of low density, rapid rotation and its gaseous state. Like all other gas giants, Saturn is primarily composed of hydrogen. It has a rocky core that includes metal hydrogen. Trace amounts of ammonia, water, ammonium and hydrosulphide crystals are in its suspension.
The Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens was the first to convincingly observed Saturn's rings in 1655. Galileo Galilei watched them earlier, but called them "ears" and was confused if they disappeared when they became a perpendicular from the point of view of the Earth. Saturn has many rings and many gaps between them, the largest named Cassini division, after Giovanni Cassini, who first discovered the discretion of the rings.
In 2004, she arrived in Saturn and shortly after the Titan's atmosphere arrived in the atmosphere of Titan, the name of the spacecraft, the Titan atmosphere, the Titan atmosphere, the Titan atmosphere, the Titan atmosphere into the Titan atmosphere into the Titan atmosphere. This was the first artificial object that landed on the body of the outer solar system and sent the observation back. After 2 1/2 hour descent through Titan's strong atmosphere, he transferred to the surface for 45 minutes after 2 1/2 hour descent. Sent back pictures of the hydrocarbonh seas that scientists are strongly looking forward to it. Titan is a great interest for scientists because it is considered a potential future goal of colonization and possible wearer of exotic life.
