    solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/saturn/in-depth.amp

    Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest planet in our solar system. Like fellow gas giant Jupiter, Saturn is a massive ball made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Saturn is not the only planet to have rings, but none are as spectacular or as complex as Saturn's.

  3. Saturn | Science – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/cassini-hds/science/saturn

    Saturn may be known for its rings, but the planet itself offers irresistible and inexhaustible subjects for study. With more than 700 times the volume of Earth, Saturn is a behemoth.

  4. In Depth | Our Solar System – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/solar-system/our-solar-system/in-depth.amp

    Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

  5. What is a Planet? | Planets – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/in-depth.amp

    A planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.

  6. Saturn is the sixth planet from our Sun (a star) and orbits at a distance of about 886 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers) from the Sun.

  7. In Depth | Titan – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/saturn-moons/titan/in-depth.amp

    Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is an icy world whose surface is completely obscured by a golden hazy atmosphere. Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system. Only Jupiter's moon Ganymede is larger, by just 2 percent. Titan is bigger than Earth's moon, and larger than even the planet Mercury.
