Saturn

Floating in Space • 22m

Visit Saturn, the 6th planet from the Sun and the 2nd-largest in the Solar System. The gas giant has over 80 moons and the most extensive ring system of any planet in the Solar System. It is more than 95 times the size than Earth, but only one-eighth as dense. It would float in a large enough pool of water. Its rings are made of small chunks of water-ice with trace components of rocky material.
