ISaturn (i-astronomy)

ISaturn yiplanethi yesithandathu kwinkqubo yelanga ukusuka eLangeni kunye neyesibini iplanethi enkulu emva kweJupiter . Inomlinganiselo weradiyasi ka-9.48 wamaxesha oMhlaba kunye nobunzima obuphindwe ka-95 kunobo boMhlaba . ISaturn, eneJupiter, Uranus, kunye neNeptune, ihlelwa njengesigebenga segesi. ^[1] Eli gama lithatyathwe kuthixo wentsomi waseRoma obizwa ngegama elifana nqwa negama lesiGrike elithi Cronus.

I-Saturn yenziwe nge-95% ye-hydrogen kunye ne-3% ye-helium elandelwa zezinye izinto. Undoqo, oquka i-silicates kunye nemikhenkce, ujikelezwe ngumaleko oshinyeneyo we-metallic hydrogen kwaye emva koko umaleko ongaphandle onegesi. ^[2]

Imimoya kwi-atmosphere yeSaturn inokufikelela kwi zikhawuleza kakhulu kunezo zikuJupiter kwaye zicotha kancinci kunezo zivuthela kwi-atmosfera yeNeptune. ^[3]

I-Saturn inenkqubo ebanzi kunye necacileyo yeendandatho ezibandakanya ubukhulu becala amaqhekeza e-ice kunye nothuli lwe-silicate. Ngeenyanga zayo ze-146 ezaziwayo, ^[4] ^[5] iSaturn ibambe irekhodi lelona nani likhulu lesathelayithi kwinkqubo yelanga. Kwezi, i-Titan yeyona nyanga inkulu kwaye ikuphela kwenyanga kwisixokelelwano selanga ukuba ibe nomoya obalulekileyo. ^[6]
