The rings of the planet are clearly visible and a brighter, red band is also seen across the planets disc at a latitude of about 30 degrees. It is believed that this band contains less ammonia gas than the surrounding area. Saturn, after Jupiter, is the second largest planet in the solar system with a radius of about 60,000km. Like Jupiter, it is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium with small quantities of ammonia and methane. It orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 1425 million kilometres and takes 29.5 years to make a full orbit.
