Saturn

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are known as the terrestrial planets. In comparison to the outer planets, they are small in size, made of denser materials, and lack a huge numbers of moons. Even though they share these common traits, they are still very different from each other. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, yet its surface is either extremely hot or extremely cold due to the slow rotation of the planet on it's axis and the lack of atmosphere. It is also unique in that it's core is…

Neptune is also known as the is a dark, cold, and windy planet that’s been discovered in 1846 by John Couch Adams, Johann Gottfried Galle, and Urbain Le Verrier. The reason for Neptune being -10 degrees is because it’s eight planets away from the sun. A way to describe Neptunes physical features is “Neptune has an incredibly thick atmosphere comprised of 74% hydrogen, 25% helium and approximately 1% methane. Its atmosphere also contains icy clouds and the fastest winds recorded in the solar…

Neptune Neptune's core which is approximately the size of Earth is believed to be composed of rock and Ice the course covered with a thick mantle that contains water liquid ammonia and methane mixed with gases it is bitterly cold on Neptune with an average temperature of -210 degrees Celsius however it is warmer than expected for a planet's distance from the Sun since Neptune has an internal energy source like others Neptune is the fourth largest planet in terms of diameter making it the…

Hydra is the largest constellation recognized by the International Astronomical Union, it stretches from the south end of Caner to in between Libra, Centaurus and the Scales. I like Hydra because even though it is such a huge constellation, there isn't a prominent identifier, but when you do see it, it demands to be admired and you can't forget that it's there. In Chinese astronomy, Hydra contains three constellations within itself; Liu, Xing and Zhang. The myth behind Hydra ties into the…

Saturn got its name by a roman god of time and could be a reason why it is the slowest planet to orbit the sun. Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun between Jupiter and Uranus. Saturn is the second largest planet. Saturn revolves around the sun once every 29.4 Earth years, or 10,755.7 Earth days. Its poles are tilted 29 degrees relative to the orbit around the sun. Winds closer to Saturn’s equator blow east at 1,100 miles per hour, making Saturn the windiest planet in the solar system (of…

Science Project Saturn Saturn is the second most biggest planet in our Solar System. The planet was mostly named by the Roman and Greek gods. Apparently the name Jupiter as well as Saturn was named after a Greek and Roman gods. Saturn was the “father” of Jupiter in the gods.

Saturn By: Natalie James Saturn is one of the farthest planets from the sun, being the sixth. After being first spotted in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, Saturn was named after the Roman god of wealth and agriculture, Saturnus. The most common nickname for this gas giant is “The Ringed Planet”, for the large rings surrounding it that Saturn is famed for. Originally the Italian astronomer, Galileo Galilei, thought that Saturn was triple bodied, but in 1658 Dutch astronomer, Christiaan Huygens, using a…

Space is a lot about the unknown and mysteries but one thing we are sure about is the planets. Saturn is one of many in our solar system and is so unique in its own way for being the only plant to have rings around it. We all know of this planet due to its spectacular rings. Although this planet has them it poses many other interesting features. The Romans were the people who made Saturn's name come to be to what it is now.
