Man trodde att den var den planet som l\u00e5g l\u00e4ngst bort tills teleskopet uppfanns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Saturnus \u00e4r den n\u00e4st st\u00f6rsta planeten efter Jupiter och best\u00e5r huvudsakligen av de l\u00e4tta gaserna v\u00e4te och helium. 764 jordklot skulle f\u00e5 plats inuti Saturnus, men gasj\u00e4tten v\u00e4ger bara 95 g\u00e5nger s\u00e5 mycket som v\u00e5r stenplanet. Om man kunde l\u00e4gga alla planeterna i en vattenp\u00f6l skulle Saturnus vara den enda som skulle flyta.<\/p>\n<p>Trots sin storlek roterar Saturnus ett varv p\u00e5 drygt 10 timmar. Rotationen \u00e4r s\u00e5 snabb att planeten buktar ut\u00e5t vid ekvatorn, vilket g\u00f6r att den ser ut som en tillplattad boll.<\/p>\n<p>I ett teleskop ser Saturnus ut att ha en blekgul f\u00e4rg. Planeten har ingen fast yta, s\u00e5 det vi ser \u00e4r moln som framtr\u00e4der som ljusa och m\u00f6rka band. Dessa moln drivs fram av mycket starka vindar. En stor del av v\u00e4rmen som driver dessa vindar kommer fr\u00e5n planetens inre. Ovanf\u00f6r molntopparna finns ett plant, skivformat ringsystem.<\/p>\n<p>Mycket av det vi vet om Saturnus kommer fr\u00e5n NASA:s och ESA:s Cassini-Huygens-uppdrag. Rymdsonden Cassini har kretsat kring planeten sedan den 1 juli 2004. Den har utforskat m\u00e5nga av Saturnus m\u00e5nar, s\u00e4rskilt den planetstora m\u00e5nen Titan. Den har ocks\u00e5 skickat tillbaka otroligt detaljerade bilder och annan data om Saturnus \u00e5skv\u00e4der, de tusentals isiga ringarna och magnetf\u00e4ltet.<\/p>\n<p>Den 14 januari 2005 landade den europeiska rymdsonden Huygens med fallsk\u00e4rm p\u00e5 Titans dolda yta. Det var den f\u00f6rsta mjuka landningen p\u00e5 en annan planetm\u00e5n (f\u00f6rutom v\u00e5r egen m\u00e5ne). Den orangef\u00e4rgade Titan visade sig vara en m\u00e4rklig, isig v\u00e4rld d\u00e4r metanregn fyller sj\u00f6ar och floder.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun.
