ATMOSPHERE AND PLANETARY COMPOSITION
Saturn contains %
97 Hydrogen, about 0.05% methane and %3 Hydrogen gas and
amonia, there are strong winds blow with speed of 1.100 mph
(500 meters per second) towards east direction near by
equator and there are cold, thick and identical shape clouds
in its atmosphere.
Saturn has rocky
core and a layer of liquid metalic hydrogen above it and a
layer of molecular hydrogen is next layer, the core is. Hot
and heavy and a radius about hree times more than Earth’s
radius.
The magnetic field
of Saturn is strong but less than Jupiter’s and may
generated by electrical current in layers close to its fast
orbiting core. Due to this strong magnetic field there are a
lot of auroras and radio emissions in Saturn.
The energy which
Saturn radiates is 79% more than what it takes from the Sun
and is heat from the core.
