1. Clouds of ammonia and ice in my atmosphere produce huge electrical storms that rage for weeks or months.2. The largest of my moons has an atmosphere that may be similar to that of Earth in its younger days.
3. Moons cause most of the gaps between my rings which consist of water-ice particles (typically ranging in size from a few inches to many feet) that continually gather into clumps and drift apart again.
4. The Cassini Division - a dark swath between my broad A and B rings - looks empty, but it is actually a separate ring, just one with fewer particles.

I got it right! That's what I get for watching so much Jeopardy. LOL! We actually got a ten minute shower today. I'm so happy. Now it's a 100 degree sauna outside, but I don't have to water anything. Blessings!!
I got it. Studied the solar system with some of my 3rd, 4th and 5th graders last year. :)
I cannot lie, I looked this one up. Thanks for some more interesting facts Kelly.
Saturn would have been my fourth choice. My first choice was the Tooth Fairy....
Oh well, maybe next time....
Have a nice day, Boonsong
I guessed right ... the "rings" gave it away.
