Saturn je \u0161esti planet od Sonca. Do izuma teleskopa se je zanj menilo, da je najbolj oddaljen med planetami.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Saturn, ki je po velikosti drugi najve\u010dji planet po Jupitru, je sestavljen predvsem iz lahkih plinov \u2013 vodika in helija. V Saturn bi se zmestilo 764 Zemlj, vendar ta plinski velikan tehta le 95-krat ve\u010d kot na\u0161 kamnit planet. \u010ce bi lahko vse planete potopili v bazen z vodo, bi bil Saturn edini, ki bi plaval na povr\u0161ini.<\/p>\n

Kljub svoji velikosti se Saturn zavrti enkrat v malo ve\u010d kot 10 urah. Njegovo vrtenje je tako hitro, da se na ekvatorju izbo\u010di navzven, zaradi \u010desar izgleda kot stisnjena \u017eoga.<\/p>\n

V teleskopu se Saturn ka\u017ee v bledo rumeni barvi. Nima trdne povr\u0161ine, zato vidimo oblake, ki se ka\u017eejo kot svetli in temni pasovi. Te oblake preganjajo zelo mo\u010dni vetrovi. Ve\u010dina toplote, ki poganja te vetrove, prihaja iz notranjosti planeta. Nad vrhom oblakov se nahaja ravna, diskovita sistema obro\u010dev.<\/p>\n

Veliko tega, kar vemo o Saturnu, izhaja iz misije Cassini-Huygens, ki sta jo izvedli NASA in ESA. Sonda Cassini kro\u017ei okoli planeta od 1. julija 2004. Raziskovala je \u0161tevilne Saturnove lune, zlasti Titan, ki je velik kot planet. Prav tako je poslala izjemno podrobne slike in druge podatke o Saturnovih nevihtah, tiso\u010dih ledenih obro\u010dkih in magnetnem polju.<\/p>\n

14. januarja 2005 je evropska sonda Huygens z padalom pristala na skriti povr\u0161ini Titana. To je bil prvi mehki pristanek na drugem planetarnem satelitu (razen na na\u0161i Luni). Izkazalo se je, da je oran\u017eni Titan \u010duden, leden svet, kjer metanski de\u017e napaja jezera in reke.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
