#It's most famous feature is its prominent ring system, which is composed of billions of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust.
#The Distance from the sun is 1.434 billion kms.
#The Saturn takes 29.4 years to complete it's one revolution around the sun.
#One day in the Saturn is equal to 10hrs 42min.
#The Saturn's atmosphere is mainly composed of Hydrogen(96.3%) and Helium(3.25%).
#Saturn is the Least dense planet in the Solar system,i.e.,if you place saturn on the water, then it starts to float on it(Has Less density than water).
#It has the Fastest winds of any other planet in our Solar system.
#In the Roman mythology, Saturn was the Father of Jupiter, King of the Gods.
#Saturn appears a pale yellow color because its upper atmosphere contains ammonia crystals.
#Saturn has 82 moons and small moonlets, of which Titan is the Second largest moon of the Solar system.
#The Surface Temperature of the Saturn ranges from -173 degrres celsius to -113 degrees celsius.
#The First Spacecraft to reach Saturn is "Pioneer 11", a NASA's Project.
#An astronomer named Galileo was the first person to see the Rings of Saturn through the telescope.
2)The Uranus
#Uranus is known as the "Sideways Planet", because it rotates on it's side. It's tilt angle is about 98 degrees!
#It is Blue-green in color because of the presence of methane in it's mostly Hydrogen-Helium atmosphere.
#The Distance from the Sun is 2.871 billion kms.
#The Uranus takes 84 years to complete it's one revolution around the sun.
#A Day in the Uranus is equal to 17hrs 14min 24s.
#The atmosphere of the Uranus is mainly composed of Hydrogen(83%), Helium(15%) and Methane(2.3%).
#It is the Second-least Dense Planet of our Solar system after Saturn.
#Uranus has Ring system, these rings are composed of extremely dark particles.
#Uranus has 27 moons, of which Oberon and Titania are the largest moons.
#The Average Surface temperature of the Uranus is about -195 degrees celsius.
#The First Spacecraft to visit the Uranus is "Voyager 2", a NASA's mission.
#The Chemical element Uranium, was named after the planet Uranus.
3)The Neptune
#Neptune is the Coldest and Farthest Planet in the Solar system.
#It is the Smallest of all the Gas giants.
#The Distance from the Sun is 4.495 billion kms.
#The Neptune takes 165 years to complete it's one revolution around the sun.
#A Day in the Neptune is equal to 16hrs 6min.
#The Neptune is also called "Watery Planet", because it has large quantities of water ice mixed in with a largely Hydrogen and Helium atmosphere.
#The Average Surface Temperature of the Neptune is -214 degrees celsius.
#It has ring system surrounding it. Some of them contain ring arcs or clusters of dust particles.
#Neptune has the Strongest Winds in the Solar system.
#It has 14 moons, of which Triton is the Seventh largest known moon of any planet.
#The First Spacecraft to visit the Neptune is "Voyager 2", a NASA's mission.
