About Saturn

In reference to the sun, Saturn is six planets away and it is the planet that is furthest away that can still be seen without the aid of a telescope. As far as sheer size, Saturn owns the second spot on that list only behind Jupiter.

Very similar to Jupiter, Saturn is a gas giant and happens to be made of comparable gases including methane, helium and hydrogen.
