Our Solar System's Planets: Saturn

Tonight's video explores the plant Saturn, a ringed gas giant with a diameter of 72,370 miles (116,400 km). It is the sixth planet from the sun, with an orbital distance of 891 million miles (1.4 billion km). As it is a gas giant, it has no real "surface", just an ever increasing atmospheric pressure that turns hydrogen gas into a supercritical fluid more like an ocean than anything else. Further down the hydrogen ocean, 96% of Saturn's atmosphere, becomes what is called metallic hydrogen, which is an electrical conductor. 

The temperature at the cloud tops on Saturn average -188C (-300 Fahrenheit) but increase with depth.

Here is a video giving the reader an overview of the ringed gas giant:
