SATURN

=**__Saturn__** =  ==The planet Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun, out of eight in our solar system. Saturn is also the second largest planet in our solar system after Jupiter ==

==Saturn is also classed as on of he gas giants because it contains alot of gas. Saturn is named after the Roman God - Saturnus; who is the same as the Greek God Kronus; who was the Titan father of Zeus in Greek mythology. ==

== Saturn is mainly made up of hydrogen gas and traces of helium are also in existance in the planet as well. Inside Saturn; there is a very small (in terms of how big Saturn is) core which is composed up of ice and different types of rocks, after the core of Saturn comes a large layer of metallic hydrogen followed by many layers of various gases; mostly hydrogen. The Wind on Saturn can blow almost anything away on Earth; the speed winds on Saturn can reach a huge 1,800km/h much more faster than Jupiter. ==

== Saturn is most famous and recognised though because of the rings around it. The rings are made up of ice and rocky clayish material as well as alot of dust. Saturn is also famous because it has the most moons in our solar system, an astonishing 60 moons orbit around Saturn! Saturn's largest moon is the 2nd largest moon in the solar system; and is bigger than the planet Mercury, probably if Titan wasn't orbiting around Saturn it would be named a plane as Titan also is the only moon in our solar sysem to have a proper atmosphere etc. ==

== It takes Saturn approximately 10,832.327 days to orbit around the sun (which is about 29 years). The surface area of Saturn is about 82 times more than that of Earth's and it's volume over 750 times that of Earth, Saturn's mass is also around 95 times bigger than Earth's mass. ==

== All in all, Saturn is a very huge planet and a fascinating planet too but human's wont be able to survive in Saturn, theres no water or oxygen for us to cope and the lack of sunlight means vegetation will cease of grow, not allowing us to live; even if we conquer the water and oxygen, we will still die from hunger. ==

==Group 1's report to the SETI is that we have throughly investigated all we needed to about Saturn, but we are sorry to inform the SETI, in reply to their question - no, Saturn is not in general a suitable place to host life, let alone human life. There is no water or oxygen on Saturn, and the intense temperature and winds will kill all life. There is hardly any sunlight in Saturn so vegetation can't prosper; therefore, we can't survive in Saturn. So SETI our offical report is that no, Saturn is not a sutiable location for human life by an possible scientifc means known to us yet. ==
