Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, known for its significant rings. Despite all outer planets having rings, Saturn's are the most prominent. Its atmosphere, discovered by Voyager probes, is thick with clouds and storms, and its low density allows it to float on water. The atmosphere is primarily hydrogen and helium, with temperatures dropping to minus 185 degrees Celsius. Saturn's rings, the largest and most dramatic, consist of ice and rock particles. The planet also has several moons, with Titan being larger than Earth's moon.
