Information about Saturn

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the solar system.

Orbit: 1.429.400.00 km (9,136 AU) from the Sun

Diameter: 120.536 km (Equatorial)

E26: 5.68 kg mass

Saturn has been known since ancient times. Galileo was the first to note the telescope in 1610, observed individual appearances but it was confusing. Preliminary observations of Saturn were a bit tricky because the land crossing through the rings of Saturn in some years when it moves in its orbit. Because it produces an image with clearly few of planet Saturn. Christiaan Huygens has the world in the year 1659 demonstrated engineering workshops. I've known of Saturn with its rings since the cretin time until 1977 when he discovered the light rings around the planet Uranus and then a simple buyer and Neptune.

First visit to the planet Saturn was using pioneer 11 in 1979 and then by voiger 1 and voiger 2. There is another vehicle on its way to Saturn, Cassini will arrive in 2004.

Featured Saturn flat monitor used a small telescope. Other planets have the same property, but not by the same amount. And the density of Saturn is the least among the planets, but is less than the density of water, equal (0.7).

The internal configuration of Saturn near Jupiter and composed of Rocky, the template layer metallic liquid hydrogen, and hydrogen molecular layer. There are traces of the presence of scattered ice. Saturn is very hot (12000 Kelvin in the heart).

Saturn called the amount of radiation to the outside over the reception by the rays of the Sun.

And dimensions:

The length of the planet's tropical 120.536 Qatar and polar diameter length 108.728, difference between diagonal lines reaching 9.8% due to the high speed of the planet around the axis and also the nature of the components of most of the constituent elements of this planet to planet liquid when the planet rotates about the axis of the planet article is moving towards the Equator and consequently expanding Qatar holds the planet.

Mass and density:

Saturn's mass is estimated at 5.69 * 10 km however the density of this planet is a little less intense for other planets, where the intensity. 69 g/cm compared to the density of water is approximately 1 g/cm if a Saturn in the vicinity of water, it will float.

Atmospheric composition:

The atmosphere of this planet consists of 97% hydrogen and helium 3.6% 0.05% methane. As for the other ingredients are molecules containing ditiriom (a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen) and ammonia and ithano polyethylene and phosphine. Also find here a thick layer of fog around the planet.

Heat:

Temperature inside the planet 25 * 10 k less whenever we went abroad with surface temperature 135 kotkol whenever one travels to the upper atmosphere, where up to 85 k in tow.

Weather:

Winds on the planet's surface to 500 m/s where the direction of the wind in this direction at the equator in other areas, the direction of the wind, depending on the region.

Days and years of Saturn:

Saturn rotates about every 11 hours and this is the day for him, and revolves around the Sun every year any ground to 29.46 years Saturn b 29.46 Earth years.

Human access to Saturn:

Saturn is different from the earth so that we can not live it for the following reasons:

1. fast winds on the planet and 1800 km/h

2. air pressure too high

3. lack of solid ground

4. hydrogen ratio is very high, so we can't breathe

Clouds and Spokes:

 

Several distinctive black spots could see abralhalkh B left the Planet Moon (Rhea) and Moon (Dione) appear as points down to the left of the planet Saturn, respectively. This picture was taken in July/August 1989, 21 when the spacecraft just 33.9 million km from the planet (Voyager 2) approached over Saturn in August 1981.25.

Red Oval cloud:

Alahlage red cloud feature you see in the southern half of the planet, the difference in color between blue-clouds surrounding the oval and red indicate those differences had was absorbed by the amount of light blue and purple rather than blue clouds got this picture was taken in November of 1980 at 8,500,000 square kilometres.

Moons of Saturn:

The number of moons of Saturn's 18 moons. That all satellites have known turnover except Phoebe and Hyperion two satellites orbiting high simultaneously (synchronously). In addition to these 18 satellites, there are more satellites up to dozen, and given a temporary, but now probably does not exist.

That the Qatar reached 270,000 km, and some hundreds of meters thick.

There are two clear of the planet (A and B) and (C) are all watching from Earth. The space between the two (A and B) known as the Cassini division and other lightweight vacuum known as the Encke Division. ATV voiger showed four other episodes. Saturn's rings are very clear over the rest of the planets.

Although Saturn's rings appear to an observer from Earth, it is in fact made up of untold number of atoms each minute in orbit. They range in size from a centimeter to several of the meters. Some of them measured in kilometers in size. The thickness of the rings of Saturn are very small. Although Saturn's rings is 250,000 km or more in diameter is less than 1.5 km in thickness. Although the landscape of great beauty, the episodes do not contain many articles. The constituent molecules of the episodes consist mostly of frozen water, some rocky particles coated with ice.

There is some resonance among some island term moons of Saturn and its rings. There are some satellites called moons sponsor "(Atlas, Prometheus and Pandora) and task in maintaining the loops in place.

The composition of the rings of Saturn is unknown as the rest of the giant planets. Although these planets have rings that have arisen since antiquity, the system of loops is unstable and must be configured in the on-going operations such as split large moons.

Episodes in shadow:

This image of Saturn was taken when the spaceship leaves the system saterdian, where on the planet are part of the ring system, the visible side of the planet from the sun illuminated the dark band of the ring system separates the fleecing of the loop A ring on the inner part of the ring B, C workshop weaker and much closer to the planet. As for the narrow F ring hardly see from the outer ring A.

The braided loops:

In the Saturn alglkh the narrow F just outside the main ring system, which has a very complex structure, this picture is very close, the system consists of two narrow and very weak inside loop, loops and curves have a bright and bright give groups believing that his Plait and scientists believe that these episodes have very small satellites. And the episode has a F n 750 thousand kilometres
