SATURN CAR COMPANY | SATURN (PLANET)

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest planet in the Solar System. It is known for its distinctive set of beautiful rings that are made from ice particles, rock debris, and dust that orbit the planet. They can be easily seen with a small telescope. Saturn is a so-called “gas giant” since it is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. NASA's Cassini spacecraft collected data on Saturn from 2004 to 2017. Saturn's various moons, particularly Titan and Enceladus, have been studied for their potential to harbor life and their intriguing geological features.
