Similarities between Jupiter and Saturn - Answer Both are huge: Jupiter is 10 times the
diameter of the earth, Saturn is 9.
Both are about 2/3 hydrogen.
The clouds of both Jupiter and Saturn are arranged in to dark belts and bright zones.
Both have day and night cloudtop temperatures about 120 K. (-200° F).
Both probably do not have a surface, but just get thicker clouds which turn to thick mush as you
go down.
Both rotate rapidly, in about 10 hours.
Both radiate over twice as much gravitational thermal (infrared) radiation as they receive from
the sun.
Both have a satellite larger than the planet Mercury.
Both have retrograde motion in the sky for over 4 months every year, when they are rising
opposite the sun.
Both have rings: Saturn has more than Jupiter.
What is Saturn's biggest moon - Answer Titan
