What Are Saturn's Moons?
Saturn has 82 known moons, the most of any planet in the Solar System. Here are some of the largest and most notable moons of Saturn:
1. Titan - The largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest moon in the Solar System. It is the only moon in the Solar System with a dense atmosphere, and it is believed to have lakes and seas of liquid hydrocarbons on its surface.
2. Enceladus - A small, icy moon of Saturn that is known for its geysers of salty water that erupt from its southern polar region. It is believed to have a subsurface ocean that may have the conditions necessary to support life.
3. Mimas - A small, heavily cratered moon of Saturn that is known for its large impact crater, Herschel, which gives it a distinctive "Death Star" appearance.
4. Iapetus - A large, irregularly shaped moon of Saturn that has a dark leading hemisphere and a bright trailing hemisphere, giving it a distinctive "yin-yang" appearance.
5. Rhea - A large, heavily cratered moon of Saturn that is believed to have a tenuous atmosphere of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
6. Dione - A medium-sized moon of Saturn that has a heavily cratered surface and bright, linear features called "wispy terrain."
These are just a few of the many moons of Saturn, each of which has its own unique characteristics and features.
