1. Diameter: Approximately 116,460 km (72,366 miles)
2. Mass: About 5.68 × 10^26 kg (95 Earths)
3. Surface Gravity: 10.44 m/s² (1.065 g)
4. Orbital Period: 29.5 Earth years
5. Rotational Period: Approximately 10.7 hours
6. Atmosphere: Primarily composed of hydrogen (about 96%) and helium (about 3%), with trace amounts of methane, ammonia, and other gases
7. Average Surface Temperature: -178 degrees Celsius (-288 degrees Fahrenheit)
8. Surface Pressure: No solid surface; pressure increases with depth into the planet
9. Moons: 83 confirmed moons, including Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, and Enceladus
10. Tilt of Axis: 26.73 degrees (causing seasonal changes similar to Earth)
11. Orbital Speed: 9.69 km/s (34,920 km/h or 21,645 mph)
12. Surface Features: No solid surface; visible cloud tops with bands and storms, including the Great White Spot (a periodic storm)
13. Magnetic Field: Strong magnetic field, about 578 times stronger than Earth's
14. Solar Day (Saturn Day): Approximately 10.7 Earth hours
15. Atmospheric Density: Dense atmosphere extending deep into the planet
16. Surface Composition: No solid surface, mainly gas and liquid metallic hydrogen
17. Geological Activity: No geological activity on Saturn itself, but significant activity on some of its moons (e.g., cryovolcanism on Enceladus)
18. Ring System: Prominent ring system composed of ice and rock particles, divided into seven main rings (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) with several gaps and divisions
19. Distance from Sun: Average of about 1.43 billion km (887 million miles)
20. Albedo (Reflectivity): Average albedo of 0.47, reflecting almost half of the sunlight it receives
21. Escape Velocity: 35.5 km/s (79,242 mph)
22. Weather: Extreme and dynamic weather patterns, with high-speed winds and storms
23. Radiation: High levels of radiation in its magnetosphere
24. Interior Composition: Likely has a core of rock and metal, surrounded by a layer of metallic hydrogen, with molecular hydrogen and helium in the outer layers
