Overall, the models that fit the data place Saturn's core-envelope boundary a significant distance from the planet's center, roughly 60 percent of the way to the surface.

The core’s stability may help explain a long-standing puzzle: why Saturn emits more energy than it gets from the sun. After the planet formed, it was warm with the heat of its birth, but then it ...

A new paper suggests Saturn’s core is more like a fluid than a solid, and makes up more of the planet’s interior than we thought. With its massive rings stretching out 175,000 miles in ...

Scientists used Saturn's famous rings like a seismograph to study processes in the planet's interior. The researchers found its core must be fuzzy rather than solid, consisting of a 'soup' of ...

Researchers now appreciate that gas planets are more complex than first thought. New findings have implications for our ...

A pair of Caltech scientists say that, based on seismic waves in its rings, Saturn likely has a "fuzzy" planet core made of ice, rocks, and lots of helium and hydrogen. The post Waves in Saturn ...

Figuring out the day length of Earth is more complicated than you might imagine. While on average a day is 24 hours long, ...

Saturn is the least-dense planet in the solar system, with an average density less than that of water, meaning it would float in a gigantic bathtub. Saturn has a dense core made of metals such as ...

The researchers were able to able to build a hazy map of the core of Saturn. That core is massive, composed mainly of heavy elements, weighing somewhere between 12 and 20 times the mass of Earth ...

A picture of Saturn's moon Enceladus, ... The researchers modeled how phosphorus-rich minerals might dissolve into the ocean from Enceladus’ core, writes Space.com.
