What does saturn look like? What does saturn look like? – The planet Saturn is said to be the second largest among the known planets, having a diameter of almost 75,000 miles. It is also considered as the sixth planet to orbit around the sun at a distance of about 885 million miles.

What Does Saturn Look Like in the Night Sky? The planet Saturn is known for its distinct rings. When it is visible in the night sky, however, Saturn looks like a bright star. If you have a telescope, you will be able to see Saturn in greater detail. As the power of your telescope increases, you may be able to see Saturn's rings, moons and color bands.

What Color Is Saturn? Full Answer. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in the Solar System, with Jupiter being the largest planet. It is considered a gas giant because it is primarily comprised of hydrogen and helium gas and does not have a solid surface. As of 2014, Saturn has 62 known moons orbiting around it.

The planet Saturn Saturn’s atmosphere is rendered yellow by the ammonia it contains. Saturn is about 70% hydrogen. The rest of the planet is helium. Its atmosphere contains traces of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon and iron.

The Satellites of Saturn This is the percentage of sunlight that is reflected by the satellites. Saturn's satellites tend to be very reflective. They are probably icy bodies. Iapetus has one very dark side and one bright side; probably the result of a collision or a close encounter with the planet's rings.

What is Saturn Made Of? Saturn, much like Jupiter, is thought to have a loose core made up of relatively little rock and some metals. It is hard to conceive that Saturn is made up of much more than gas based on its low density. Saturn has a density of 0.687 g/cm 3. Earth, on the other hand, has a density of 5.513 g/cm 3. That means that a planet that has 95 times more mass than Earth has barely 12% of its density.

- Introduction. Saturn is a unique planet because of the disc-shaped ring system surrounding it. Galileo first observed the disc in 1610, but thought that it looked more like two large moons because his telescope was not very powerful.

What is the Surface of Saturn Like? by Fraser Cain on January 23, 2009. Saturn is a ball made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. The density and temperature changes the deeper into the planet you go, but Saturn can’t be said to have a solid surface. If you tried to walk on the surface of Saturn, you would fall into the planet, suffering higher temperatures and pressures until you were crushed inside the planet. Saturn captured by Voyager. Image credit: NASA/JPL. But Saturn appears to have a surface, so what are we looking at. The outer atmosphere of Saturn consists of 93% molecular hydrogen and the rest helium, with trace amounts of ammonia, acetylene, ethane, phosphine and methane.

The Planet Saturn Saturn is considerably colder than Jupiter being further from the Sun, with an average temperature of about -285 degrees F. Wind speeds on Saturn are extremely high, having been measured at slightly more than 1,000 mph, considerably higher than Jupiter.

Saturn going for the gold in NASA photos A bright disruption in Saturn's narrow F ring suggests it may have been disturbed recently by the interaction of a small object embedded in the ring itself. They are hard to see, but their handiwork reveals their presence, and scientists use the Cassini spacecraft to study these stealthy sculptors of the F ring.

Jupiter With the extremely cold temperatures in the Saturnian system, ranging from about 55 K to 110 K (-220 C to -160 C, -360 F to -260 F), Saturn, its rings (which are made out of particles of ice and dust), and its moons give off most of their energy at infrared wavelengths.

- The Hubble telescope has captured snapshots of Saturn with its rings nearly edge-on to our view. Read more about it. Saturn's rings are incredibly thin. The main rings are generally only about 30 feet (10 meters) thick, though parts of the main and other rings can be several kilometers thick. The rings are made of dusty ice, in the form of boulder-sized and smaller chunks that gently collide with each other as they orbit around Saturn.

Magnitude-5.7 quake widely felt across N. Calif. Thousands of people reported feeling the quake, as far away as the San Francisco Bay area and across the borders into Oregon and Nevada, according to the USGS website. KCRA-TV in Sacramento reported that the Plumas County temblor was felt in downtown Sacramento, about 145 miles south of the epicenter.

- The temperature at the top of Saturn's clouds averages -285â° F(-175 â°C). The core of Saturn is much hotter, estimated at around11,700 â°C. The planet gives off about …2 â½ times as much heat as it receivesfrom the Sun.

"What kind of ""features"" (like landforms) do Saturn have??" Saturn is thought to have a similar internal composition to that of Jupiter, with a small rocky core surrounded mostly by hydrogen and helium. The rocky core is similar in com … position to the Earth, but much more dense.

- At the close of 2013 and throughout 2014, Saturn describes a Northward-facing loop in central Libra, positioned to the North-east of the constellation's second-brightest star Zuben Elgenubi ( Lib or Alpha Librae, apparent magnitude +2.8).

Diamonds Rain Down on Saturn and Jupiter Storms on Saturn are among the most violent in the solar system, lofting ice 100 miles into the air and shocking the planet with lightning strikes. Saturn’s atmosphere contains a small percentage of methane, whose chemical makeup consists of carbon and hydrogen. When lightning strikes the atmosphere, the carbon and hydrogen separate, leaving isolated carbon atoms to float around and accumulate like flakes of snow in a blizzard.

Saturnâs Rings If you have rock-steady sky and a 6-inch scope, look for the elusive Encke division, another gap near the outer edge of the A-ring. More than most planets, Saturn displays a striking 3-D effect caused by the darkened edges of the disk and, when you can see them, the shadows cast by the rings on the planet. The view of the rings as seen from Earth changes over Saturn’s nearly 30-year orbital period.

Saturn It lacks a definite surface, though it may have a solid core. Saturn's rotation causes it to have the shape of an oblate spheroid; that is, it is flattened at the poles and bulges at its equator. Its equatorial and polar radii differ by almost 10%: 60,268 km versus 54,364 km, respectively.

Look Up Tonight! You Can Spot Saturn's Rings With a Telescope Look Up Tonight! You Can Spot Saturn's Rings With a Telescope. The NASA spacecraft Cassini swung high above Saturn in October 2013 to capture this unusual view of the planet and its main rings. Composed of 36 images in three color filters, the photo depicts the gas giant in natural color, as human eyes would see it.

Saturn Saturn is probably best known for the system of planetary rings that makes it visually unique. The rings extend from 6,630 km to 120,700 km above Saturn's equator, average approximately 20 meters in thickness and are composed of 93% water ice with traces of tholin impurities and 7% amorphous carbon.

What color are Saturn's rings? Saturn's rings are a hazy yellow, with a bit of blue, and some green. Saturn's rings are made up of water, ice, rocks, and snow. Some of the particles that make up Saturn's rings are as small as ice cubes and as large as houses.

The Planet Saturn Saturn’s rotation causes it to have the shape of an oblate spheroid; flattened at the poles but bulging at the equator. Saturn’s Composition: As a gas giant, Saturn is predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium gas. With a mean density of 0.687 g/cm3, Saturn is the only planet in the Solar System that is less dense than water; which means that it lacks a definite surface, but is believed to have a solid core.

Saturn Saturn's atmosphere exhibits a banded pattern similar to Jupiter's, but Saturn's bands are much fainter and are much wider near the equator. The nomenclature used to describe these bands is the same as on Jupiter.

- Saturn's rings obscure part of Titan's colorful visage in this image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. NASA's Cassini spacecraft looks toward the night side of Saturn's largest moon and sees sunlight scattering through the periphery of Titan's atmosphere and forming a ring of color.
