Geocache Description:

A small sized Lock-n-Lock. This is a cache in a series that represents a scale model of the solar system at 66 million to one scale. Please look inside the cache for a model of this planet and the scale data. I would of loved to have included a scale model but the planet itself would of been 6 feet in diameter and the rings, over 13 feet! Maybe someday. :) The inner dome of the Adler Planetarium represents the surface of The Sun.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter. Named after the Roman god of agriculture, Saturn, its astronomical symbol (♄) represents the god's sickle. Saturn is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth. While only one-eighth the average density of Earth, with its larger volume Saturn is just over 95 times more massive than Earth.



Saturn has a prominent ring system that consists of nine continuous main rings and three discontinuous arcs, composed mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. Sixty-two known moons orbit the planet; fifty-three are officially named. This does not include the hundreds of "moonlets" within the rings. Titan, Saturn's largest and the Solar System's second largest moon, is larger than the planet Mercury and is the only moon in the Solar System to retain a substantial atmosphere.
