Saturn, Lord of the rings: Characteristics of Saturn

The video explores Titan, Saturn's largest moon, highlighting its liquid ethane rivers, hydrocarbon lakes, and dense atmosphere. It then shifts focus to Saturn, detailing its size, orbit, and unique characteristics like its tilt and density. The composition of Saturn, including its hydrogen and helium makeup, is discussed, along with its cloud layers. The video concludes with an explanation of Saturn's magnetic field and the resulting aurorae caused by solar wind particles.
