Saturn’s atmosphere exhibits a banded pattern similar to Jupiter’s, but Saturn’s bands are much fainter and are much wider near the equator. The nomenclature used to describe these bands is the same as on Jupiter. Saturn’s finer cloud patterns were not observed until the flybys of the Voyager spacecraft during the 1980s. Since then, Earth-based telescopy has improved to the point where regular observations can be made. The composition of the clouds varies with depth and increasing pressure.

The winds on Saturn are the second fastest among the Solar System’s planets, after Neptune’s. Voyager data indicate peak easterly winds of 500 m/s (1,800 km/h).

Thermography has shown that Saturn’s south pole has a warm polar vortex, the only known example of such a phenomenon in the Solar System. Whereas temperatures on Saturn are normally −185 °C, temperatures on the vortex often reach as high as −122 °C, suspected to be the warmest spot on Saturn.

If You Want To Learn A Liiiitle Bit Of Astronomy(or Just Like The Stars), This Might Come In Handy ^^

If you want to learn a liiiitle bit of astronomy(or just like the stars), this might come in handy ^^

Fun fact: Yesterday I told one of my friends to get me into an astronomy club (I know awesome) and sadly there are too many people already. I guess the universe didn’t want it to happen.
