The planet Saturn was named after the Roman mythological god “Saturnus”. He was the Roman god of agriculture and harvest. Saturn is 9.54 astronomical units away from the Sun. It is the sixth planet in the Sun’s orbit. Saturn takes about 10 hours and 39 minutes to complete a rotation. The gravity on Saturn is about 107% of Earth’s, therefore a 100 pound man on Earth, would weigh 107 pounds on Saturn. Saturn takes 29 years and 155 days to orbit the sun. Saturn is the second-largest planet in our solar system, right behind Jupiter. Saturn’s mass is 5.6846 x 1026 kg. This is equivalent to 95.152 Earths.

Student 2:

Saturn’s atmosphere is made mostly of molecular hydrogen. there are also trace amounts of helium. Saturn has low temperatures because it so far away from the sun. Temperature is about-275o Fahrenheit at the top of its clouds. Earth’s average temperature ranges from about 68o to 98o Fahrenheit. This means that Saturn is about 3.3 times colder than Earth. Saturn is a gas giant, so it doesn’t have a density as high as Earth’s or any of the other inner terrestrial planets. Saturn is made up mostly of Hydrogen, with traces of Helium. The planet is very big, the second largest in the solar system, and is known for it’s spectacular rings. Saturn has at least 50 moons orbiting it. This is second only to Jupiter. some of the more popular moons are Titan, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea. They are all unique. Saturn’s largest moon Titan, was discovered in 1655. While the most recent discovery was in 2009. Saturn’s rings are the most prominent feature on the planet. They were discovered at about the same time the planet was discovered because of how noticeable they are. They are made up mostly of ice, but there are also significant amounts of carbon. Saturn’s rings are more than 250,000 km in diameter but are less than 1 km thick, making them very thin relative to planet size.

Student 3:
Saturn’s presence has been known for thousands of years because it is one of 5 planets that can be seen with the naked human eye. Saturn actually appears to be a very bright star, so in the right orbit, it’s clearly visible, making its founder unknown. The planet was first observed by Galileo in 1610. Using a telescope, he observed it’s odd appearance and was confused by the planet. The telescope he used was unable to distinguish Saturn’s rings, he thought it was orbited by 2 satellites, but when he looked again, the “satellites were gone. Because of Saturn’s angle changes, observation was difficult. As technology improved, so did Saturn’s image. Christiaan Huygens studied Saturn in 1659, discovering its rings and lso its moon, Titan. Later, Jean-Dominique discovered the moons Iapetus, Rhea, Tethys, and Dione.
Saturn has many physical qualities that prevent human life within the planet. Due to its distance from the sun, it has a low temperature (-122 degrees C at it’s highest point) except in the core. The core is relatively small with a similar composition to that of Earths’. The rocky and dense core can reach sweltering temperatures of 11,700 C, making it impossible for any human life. The core is surrounded by liquid metallic hydrogen, then helium and hydrogen, followed by Saturn’s atmosphere. Saturn’s composition makes it the lease dense planet, which would allow it to float on water, so a human would basically fall right through it due to its higher density. If a human could stay inside of Saturn, the lack of oxygen would kill them or they would drown.
Saturn is one of the only planets that has visible rings around it. These rings are also found around Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. Scientist, todaqy, know of 5 rings around the planet, which are named G, F, C, B, and A. The rings around Saturn are the brightest, so they were the first to be discovered. These broad rings, over 250,000 km in diameter and 1 km. thick, are actually composed of thousands of smaller rings within close proximity of one another. The rings are made up of particles of ice and dusts that can have up to 1 meter diameter. The origins of the rings are unknown, but there are two possible explanations. One states that there was once a moon named Veritas that eventually was ripped apart by gravity. This theory comes from Edouard Roche from the 19th century. A variation on this idea says the moon could’ve been an asteroid or comet. Another states that the rings are simply leftover the original substance from Saturn’s nebular creation. There are also moons within the rings that actually keep the outer rings in place because of their gravitational attraction.

Student 4:
The alien species, Cowgasushies, is green and has wings between its arms and its sides and are pink. These wings allow it to levitate so it can travel without having to walk. It is very small but it does not fly away due to little suction cups on the bottom of its feet so that it can stay close to the surface even when it levitates. Its eyes are very large and sharp so it can see through dust and see a great distance so it can get out of the way of incoming threats. It also has a thin, protective, transparent layer of skin over its eyes to prevent any dirt and rocks that might get into its eyes. It has tough weather resistant skin to prevent cold from damaging it’s internal organs. It has a tail that can dig into the ground to help it stand when there is a lot of wind blowing. It is very muscular which helps when it needs to travel without flying so it can go for long distances without having to stop and rest. It gains nutrients through the holes in its wings.
