'''Saturn''' (Sol VI) is a gas giant in [[Sol System]] best known for its set of planetary rings.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=starmap?location=SOL.PLANETS.SATURN&system=SOL&camera=59.52,110.67,0.0003,0.0000138,0|text=Saturn on ARK Starmap}}</ref>

== Atmospheric Composition ==
Saturn's atmosphere is primarily composed of Hydrogen with some Helium.

== Natural Satellites ==
=== [[Titan]] ===
Saturn's largest natural satellite has long been of great interest to scientists. With rivers and lakes of ethane and methane, Titan is the only moon in the Sol System with a dense atmosphere.

=== [[Rhea]] ===
Made mainly of rock and ice, Rhea is commonly referred to as a "dirty snowball" due to its composition.

=== [[Tethys]] ===
Tethys is predominantly made of water ice, which gives it a density much lower than other celestial objects its size.

=== [[Dione]] ===
Strangely, this tidally locked moon features numerous impact craters on its trailing hemisphere, leading scientists to speculate that heavy bombardment from objects once spun Dione 180 degrees.

=== [[Iapetus]] ===
Tidally locked to Saturn, Iapetus is unusual because of its "two-tone" coloration. The side facing Saturn is constantly shrouded in shadow while the more distant side is illuminated.
