Saturn is named after Saturn the god of Agriculture. The god Saturn was also the god of time,therefore the slowest orbiting planet is named after him. According to my personal research Galileo Galilee was the first person to discover Saturn through a telescope.

Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system. Absolutely no one could live on Saturn because it is 97% hydrogen,3% helium and .05% methane. Saturn is 120,660 kilometers in diameter. The length of one year on Saturn is 29.46 earth years. One day on Saturn is 10.2 earth hours. The surface temperature of Saturn is 88k.

The weight of a 100 pound person on Saturn would be approximately 106.4 pounds.

No human would want to visit Saturn because there is no oxygen. Saturn is made of gasses.
