Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun and is known for its prominent rings. It is the second largest planet in our solar system and has over 60 moons, some of which are Titan, Dione, Mimas, Enceladus, Rhea, and Thethys. Saturn has an icy surface with very cold weather, making it impossible for visitors due to the lack of oxygen in its gaseous atmosphere.
