| Saturn-Saturn is the second of the outer planets. It is also the second largest planet in our solar system. Saturn is made mostly of hydrogen and helium. On Earth these are usually gases. In fact, helium is the gas used to blow up balloons that float. On Saturn, hydrogen and helium are liquids! Saturn has weather and storms. Scientists think these are mostly wind storms. Winds on Saturn can be up to 5 times stronger than winds on Earth. The rings are made up pieces of rocks and ice. These pieces can be as small as a pebble or as big as a building. The rings get their pretty colors because the sun shines on them from far away. | |
