Saturn

[About the Planet]

Saturn

Saturn is the second-largest and most enchanting planet. Its enormous rings surround its equator. They are not solid, but made of countless pieces of ice, rock and dust, held in an endless dance by gravity.

[Extreme Environments]
Saturn is mostly hydrogen and helium, with an average density lower than water. Fierce winds create storms covering much of the planet. Far from the Sun, its world is bitterly cold. The faint warmth of sunlight cannot dispel its frozen darkness.

[Orbit]
Saturn's orbit takes about 29.5 Earth years. Seen from Earth, its rings seem to appear and disappear as their angle changes, like an eternal dial silently measuring time.

[Did You Know?]
You need a telescope to see Saturn's rings. Those beautiful bands are made of countless tiny fragments, so close together, yet never able to touch.

[Symbols & Legends]

In astrology, Saturn represents limits, hardship, discipline and time. In Roman mythology, Saturn devoured his children to preserve his eternal rule. He embodies a cold, strict and irresistible order.
