Solution

  1. Saturn: Saturn is a predominantly gaseous planetary with a rocky core in its center. Saturn's surface seems speckled and seems to have a brown-yellow, butterscotch appearance. Saturn's circles are most likely made up of tiny ice as well as rock components. There are 62 moons orbiting Saturn.
  2. The planet possesses 95 times the earth's mass as well as a radius 9 times that of Earth. This was most known for its stunning ring system.
    Saturn's atmosphere is unsuitable for sustaining life.
  3. This planet's temperatures, tensions, as well as materials are most probably too high and unpredictable for creatures to acclimatize to.
  4. This planet has the solar system's second-shortest workday. A day on Saturn lasts only 10.7hours, while Saturn completes its circle around the Sun in approximately 29.4Earthyears.

Therefore, the second-largest planet in our solar system is Saturn.
