orbit:the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a star, planet, or moon, especially a periodic elliptical revolution..

axis:an imaginary line about which a body rotates.: "the earth revolves on its axis once every 24 hours".

galaxy:a system of millions or billions of stars, together with gas and dust, held together by gravitational

gravity:the force that attracts a body toward the center leaving mass. For most purposes Newton's.laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account..

nebulae:a cloud of gas and dust in outer space, visible in the night sky either as an indistinct bright patch or as a dark silhouette against other luminous matter..

eclipse:an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination.: "an eclipse of the sun the earth, or toward any other physical body heat.

saturn

Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system and is another gas giant.

• Saturn has a small rocky core covered with liquid gas.
• It is surrounded by a system of rings that stretch out into space for thousands of kilometres.
• The rings are made up of millions of ice crystals, some as big as houses and others as small as specks of dust.
• Saturn is very light as it is made up of more hydrogen than helium so it is less dense. If we could fit Saturn into a bathtub it would float (but that would have to be one big bathtub!)
• Like Jupiter, Saturn has many moons which surround it.
• Saturn is not a peaceful planet.  Storm winds race around the atmosphere at 800kmp/h.
• Saturn has a very strong magnetic field which traps energy particles resulting in high levels of radiation.
