Saturn: From Rings to Core

Let us explore Saturn, from its icy rings down to its crushing core.

Despite its massive size, Saturn is less dense than water. It would actually

float. The rings are ninety-five percent water ice, billions of frozen

chunks in orbit. Super-fast winds and a hexagonal polar storm define this chaotic hydrogen atmosphere.

Descending deeper, helium separates from hydrogen and rains down as liquid droplets.

Extreme pressure turns hydrogen into a liquid metal, creating a massive magnetic field.

The twelve-thousand-degree core of rock and ice drives the planet's internal heat. With moons like

Titan, Saturn remains a masterpiece of planetary evolution and physics.
