 SATURN'S MOONS  ﻿ Saturn has 31 known moons, but only 12 of them are named.

 PA ﻿ N  Pan is the moon closest to Saturn. This is about all we know about Pan.

ATLAS

Picture not found

Atlas serves a very important function Its orbit is at the edge of the A-ring, keeping the A-ring in place so that the particles dont go beyond its orbit.

PROMETHEUS

//

//Prometheus's purpose is much like Atlas's. Prometheus guards the inside of the F-ring.//

//PANDORA//

//

Pandora and Prometheus serve joint purposes. Pandora guards the outside of the F-ring, while Prometheus guards the inside.

EPIMETHEUS



Scientists think that Epimetheus and Janus (below) were once part of a single moon that was later blasted apart.

JANUS



The claim that Janus and Epimetheus (above) were once part of a single moon is supported by the fact that their orbits are within thirty miles of each other.

MIMAS

Oh no Pac-MAN is eating Mimas!!!! om nom nom :D

Mimas is unique because it has a huge crater that covers fully one quarter of its entire surface.

//ENCELADUS//

TETHYS



Tethys, Telesto (below), and Calypso (below) all share the same orbit.

TELESTO

HELENE

DIONE



Dione looks very much like our moon except it contains ice.

RHEA



TITAN

Titan looks a bit like an egg :P

Titan is the second largest moon in the solar system.It is also on of only three that have an atmosphere(Jupiter's lo and Neptune's Triton are the other two). Out of the other two, Titan is certainly the thickest. In fact, its cloud are so thick that the moon is like Venus; its impossible to see the ground. Because of this, we know very little about the the moon except that it has a thick orange cloud cover and an atmosphere thicker than Earth's.

HYPERION

to me it just looks like an asteroid, which it probably is.

Hyperion looks like a hamburger, and has a crater that covers one third of its bottom side.
