  • Saturn, the sixth planet from the sun, is also a gas giant, and it’s the most impressive feature as seen from afar is an extensive and complex ring system. The interior of Saturn, like Jupiter, is made of mostly hydrogen and helium.
  • Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are far away from the sun and are known as outer planets, they all have a ring system and a large no of moons.
