Postcards | Saturn in the Sea

Saturn is a gas giant made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. Saturn's volume is greater than 760 Earths, and about 95 times Earth's mass. The Ringed Planet is the least dense of all the planets, and is the only one less dense than water. If there were a bathtub big enough to hold it, Saturn would float!

Saturn actually has many rings made of billions of particles of ice and rock, ranging in size from a grain of sugar to the size of a house. The particles are believed to be debris left over from comets, asteroids or shattered moons. A 2016 study also suggested the rings may be the carcasses of dwarf planets. DAAAAAAANGG Saturn!! You're a bad bitch!

The pull of Saturn's gravity has helped shape the fate of our solar system. It may have helped violently hurl Neptune and Uranus outward. It might also have slung a barrage of debris toward the inner planets early in the system's history. A 2017 study suggests that Saturn, more so than Jupiter, steers dangerous asteroids away from Earth.

Good looking out, Saturn! We appreciate ya!

Science is fun!
