Greetings From Saturn. Where Rings Are The Thing. Postcard.

Saturn - Sixth planet from the Sun, is best known for its spectacular rings, 224,000 km/170,000 miles across, composed of billions of tiny ice particles.

Like Jupiter, Saturn is a giant gas-world with bright cloud bands, but with winds twice as fast.  Most of its many moons are small and icy, but Titan is almost as big as the planet Mars, with a thick orange atmosphere of smog -- not unlike that of many Earth cities, but caused by natural chemical reactions, not automobiles!
