  • Saturn: Planet or Star? Understanding Saturn's Composition
    Saturn is not a star at all. It is a planet, a celestial body that orbits a star.

    Stars are massive balls of hot gas that produce their own light and heat through nuclear fusion. Planets, on the other hand, are much smaller and do not undergo nuclear fusion. They shine by reflecting light from their host star.

    Saturn is a gas giant, composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. It is the sixth planet from the Sun and is known for its prominent ring system.
