Illustration showing the core,mantle and crust of Saturn. There is no direct information about Saturn's internal structure,although,it is thought to have a similar interior to Jupiter,having a small rocky core surrounded mostly by hydrogen and helium. The rocky core is similar in composition to the Earth,but denser. Above the core there is thought to be a thicker liquid metallic hydrogen layer,with a layer of liquid hydrogen and helium above that,and a gaseous atmosphere in the outermost 1000 km | |
