turn's density is eigh!
t times less than Earth's density because the planet consists of mostly the gas hydrogen. The enormous size of Saturn causes a magnetic field. Its volume would take up about 769 Earth size bodies. Saturn has about 20 known satellites. The five inner largest satellites are Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, and Rhea, they are mostly spherical. They are made up of water and ice. Rocks make up 40 percent of Dione's surface; Enceladus has a much smoother surface. Tethys has a large crater with its width 62 miles across and stretches 1200 miles. Dione and Rhea have brilliantly lit up streaks on their surfaces. Scientists believe that the cause of the ice is from craters by meteorites, or new ice that came up through the core of the planet. The outer satellites, Hyperion and Iapetus are made up of the same elements as the inner satellites; water and ice. Phoebe is the farthest satellite that has a retrograde rotation. Titan is Saturn's largest moon with a diameter of 32, 000 miles, wh!
ich is larger than the planet Mercury. Titan has an orangey surface color and consists of the gases nitrogen and traces of methane, ethane, acetylene, ethylene, hydrogen, cyanide, carbon monoxide, and dioxide. The temperature of Titan is about -296 degrees Fahrenheit (-182 degrees Celsius) and 294 degrees Fahrenheit, (180 degrees Celsius) which is very similar to the temperatures of Saturn's largest moon Titan. Pioneer 11 probe was launched into space September 1979. Following this mission was Voyager I in November 1980 and then Voyager II in August of 1981. Voyager II discovered more then 100,000 ringlets on this
