RING COMPOSITION
Saturn's rings are 99.9% pure water ice, ranging from tiny grains to mountains. They are incredibly thin, averaging only 10 meters in thickness.
EXPLORE RINGSAlbedo: High
LOW DENSITY
Saturn is the only planet in our solar system that is less dense than water. With a density of 0.687 g/cm³, it would technically float in a giant bathtub.
PHYSICAL STATSDensity: 0.69 g/cm³
TITANIC MOON
Titan is the second-largest moon in the solar system and the only one with a dense atmosphere and liquid methane lakes on its surface.
TITAN MISSIONSize: > Mercury
HEXAGON STORM
At Saturn's north pole, a persistent hexagonal cloud pattern rotates. This 6-sided jet stream is unique in the known solar system.
ATMOSPHERICSPattern: Hexagonal
