¥Saturn:
ÐSaturn is a gas giant.
ÐIt has strong surface
winds (500 m/sec).
ÐSaturn is less dense
than water.
ÐSaturnÕs magnetic field is 20x
less than Jupiter's, but its core rotation period (10.5 hours) is similar.
¥SaturnÕs Moons:
ÐTitan is the big one,
and is larger than planet Mercury!
ÐMimas has a huge
crater.
ÐEpimetheus and Janus,
just inside the orbit of Mimas, are continually exchanging orbits with one another in a "waltz" -- they are called the
coorbital satellites.
