Saturn is the sixth planet in distance from the sun, it is the second largest in size and mass after Jupiter and is the only planet in our solar system with a ring system visible from Earth. Saturn's atmosphere has a system of light and dark stripes similar to those of Jupiter and has strong winds dominated by intense equatorial current level cloud height, which has been reached to date at speeds of up to 450 m / s. This atmosphere is formed in larger proportion by hydrogen and helium, along with traces of other gases. The planet itself comprises a 90% hydrogen and 5% of helium, and possibly higher clouds are formed of crystals of ammonia. Saturn is attributed to have a large number of natural satellites, 65 in total, the largest of which, Titan is the only satellite in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere. Saturn takes nearly 30 Earth years to circle the Sun and its diameter is 116,000 km. ____________________________ Saturno es el sexto planeta del Sistema Solar, ...
