Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth. It has only one-eighth the average density of Earth, but with its larger volume Saturn is over 95 times more massive. Saturn is named after the Roman god of agriculture; its astronomical symbol (♄) represents the god's sickle.

Jupiter and Saturn are Similar
Both are huge: Jupiter is 10 times the diameter of the earth, Saturn is 9.Both are about 2/3 hydrogen.The clouds of both Jupiter and Saturn are arranged in to dark belts and bright zones.Both have day and night cloudtop temperatures about 120 K. (-200° F).Both probably do not have a surface, but just get thicker clouds which turn to thick mush as you go down.Both rotate rapidly, in about 10 hours.Both radiate over twice as much gravitational thermal (infrared) radiation as they receive from the sun.Both have a satellite larger than the planet Mercury.Both have retrograde motion in the sky for over 4 months every year, when they are rising opposite the sun.
