| Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It has a whopping 145 moons. It's the farthest planet from Earth that's visible to the unaided eye, but the planet's most outstanding features — its rings — are better viewed through a telescope. It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine-and-a-half times that of Earth. | |
| In Greek mythology, from which the Romans borrowed, Saturn was called Cronus. Saturn/Cronus is most famous for being one of the Titans, a group of gods who fought with the next generation of gods led by Jupiter (in Roman mythology) or Zeus (in Greek mythology). Your culture may have different stories and monikers associated with Saturn, however. | |
