SATURN is the sixth planet from the
sun. Saturn has a lot of gas around it. The gas is made of hydrogen and
helium. It puts out more heat than it receives from the sun. Saturn's magnetic
field is 1,000 times stronger than Earth's. Galileo looked at Saturn in 1960. He
thought it was a triple planet. In 1655, Datch, an astronomer, discovered that
Saturn has a solid ring around it. Later, scientists discovered there to
be seven different
rings.
