Saturn's moons

• Saturn has 30 moons. Scientists call some moons
  on Saturn Shepard moons. These moons orbit within
  or come very close to Saturn's Rings. Any stray
  ring materials that might otherwise pull away are
  kept in orbit by these moons.

Saturn's Rings

• Scientists are not sure where the chunks in
  Saturns rings came from. They may have formed
  after Saturn became a planet. They might be small
  pieces from ancient moons that were broken when
  comets or meteorites crashed into them.

What would I see?

• You would see Saturn glowing golden as you
  approached. You would see thick layers of clouds
  covering Saturn. I think it would be cool to see
  Saturn because the types of gases in the
  atmosphere gives the clouds their color.

  Saturn is the coolest because what I learned
  about Saturn. It is much different from Earth
  There is no houses just rock for millions of
  miles no people just you. if you went to see it.

Why is it on a tilt?

• Saturn moves through space on a tilted axis just
  like earth. This means that scientists usually
  see the rings on a angle. They see part of the
  top or the bottom of the rings. The tilts of the
  two planets are lined up so scientist on Earth
  see only the edge of the rings.
