About Saturn

✅Saturn is the second largest planet of the solar system in mass and size and the sixth nearest planet in distance to the Sun.
✅Saturn has an overall hazy yellow-brown appearance.
Saturn’s atmosphere is composed mostly of molecular hydrogen and helium.
✅Saturn has 83 moons with confirmed orbits that are not embedded in its rings.
✅The moons of Saturn are numerous and diverse, ranging from tiny moonlets only tens of metres across to enormous Titan, which is larger than the planet Mercury.
✅Saturn got its tilt due to gravitational interactions with its neighbour Neptune according to a well-known theory.
✅But the new study argues that Saturn is no longer under Neptune’s gravitational influence.
✅Titan, which is Saturn’s largest satellite, may have been responsible, suggested observations from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, which orbited Saturn from 2004-2017.
✅Titan’s fast migration caused the planet to tilt further, reducing Neptune’s gravitational influence on Saturn.
