Scientists have sent spaceships very close to Saturn. They have very good pictures of it, and they are sure that it is made of gas. --Mooshified 19:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

How can something made of gas have so much gravity? There has to be solid ground beneath the atmosphere for it to attract so many moons. 70.118.115.49 21:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Saturn does indeed have a rocky core. However, Scientists also use the color of Saturn to determine what the planet is made of. Different colors mean different things. For example, gaseous elements will have a certain color. They can also observe the movements over time of the features of the planet. Wind and water move on a planet but rock does not. Saturn has a small rock in the middle. However, it is made mostly of gas. Even gas can have gravity. Look at the Sun. The Sun is mostly made of Hydrogen gas (although its really plasma) and yet it has so much gravity even pluto feels it.Tourskin 03:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
