Saturn is one of the eight planets in the solar system, sixth in distance from the sun. And the name of Saturn comes from the Roman god of agriculture, Saturn. Saturn is a gas giant, made mostly of hydrogen, with small amounts of helium and elements. And an inner core of rock and ice surrounded by layers of metallic hydrogen and gas. Moreover, with winds of up to 1,800 kilometers per hour, Saturn’s winds are obviously faster than Jupiter’s. Saturn’s planetary magnetic field is between the strength of Earth’s and Jupiter’s. Saturn has a remarkable ring system consisting mainly of icy particles, less rock debris and dust. Saturn’s 82 moons were confirmed in 2019, one of the most in the eight planets.
