Can a person live on Saturn?

Without a solid surface, Saturn isn't likely a place we could ever live. But the gas giant does have numerous moons, some of which would make fascinating locations for space colonies, particularly Titan and Enceladus.

What would happen to a human on Saturn?

So, if you tried to walk on this part of Saturn, you would sink through its atmosphere. Saturn's atmosphere is very thick and its pressure increases the deeper you go. After a while, you would stop sinking and unfortunately be crushed by the high pressure deeper in Saturn's atmosphere.

Do scientists believe Saturn could support life?

Summary: Using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, scientists modeled chemical processes in the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The studies indicate the possibility that a varied metabolic menu could support a potentially diverse microbial community in the liquid water ocean beneath the moon's icy facade.

Are there creatures on Saturn?

Explorers from Earth reach Saturn from Jupiter (which is a tropical jungle world, much like ancient Earth) and find that the planet is a dark, dry, dying planet. The only inhabitants of Saturn are gigantic, ghostlike creatures that communicate telepathically and can predict the future.

Can humans breathe on Saturn?

First, you can't stand on Saturn. It's not a nice, solid, rocky planet like Earth. Rather, it's made mostly of gases. … With these wind speeds, even if there was oxygen in Saturn's atmosphere, you still wouldn't be able to breathe because the air would be sucked from your lungs.

Can you walk on Saturn's rings?

You probably won't have much success walking on Saturn's rings, unless you happen to land on one of its moons, like Methone, Pallene, or even Titan, which has been considered a potential site for a future space colony. But you'll want to keep your space suit on, as Titan is a chilly -179.6 degrees Celsius (-292 F).

Does it rain diamonds on Saturn?

New research by scientists apparently shows that it rains diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn. ... According to the research lightning storms on the planets turn methane into soot which hardens into chunks of graphite and then diamonds as it falls.

Would a human float on Saturn?

Saturn Wouldn't Float in Water. Saturn is visible in the sky now, a beautiful ringed world with a density so low it would float in water.

Can we land on Saturn?

Surface. As a gas giant, Saturn doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids deeper down. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Saturn, it wouldn't be able to fly through unscathed either.

What would happen if Earth had rings like Saturn?

Earth's hypothetical rings would differ in one key way from Saturn's; they wouldn't have ice. Earth lies much closer to the sun than Saturn does, so radiation from our star would cause any ice in Earth's rings to sublime away.

Is life on Jupiter possible?

Potential for Life

Jupiter's environment is probably not conducive to life as we know it. The temperatures, pressures, and materials that characterize this planet are most likely too extreme and volatile for organisms to adapt to.

Can humans live on Saturn Titan?

Robert Zubrin has pointed out that Titan possesses an abundance of all the elements necessary to support life, saying "In certain ways, Titan is the most hospitable extraterrestrial world within our solar system for human colonization." The atmosphere contains plentiful nitrogen and methane.

Could Europa have life?

The type of life that might inhabit Europa likely would not be powered by photosynthesis – but by chemical reactions. Europa's surface is blasted by radiation from Jupiter. That's a bad thing for life on the surface – it couldn't survive. But the radiation may create fuel for life in an ocean below the surface.

Is Saturn hot or cold?

Saturn is considerably colder than Jupiter being further from the Sun, with an average temperature of about -285 degrees F. Wind speeds on Saturn are extremely high, having been measured at slightly more than 1,000 mph, considerably higher than Jupiter.

Does life exist Enceladus?

With its global subsurface water ocean, Saturn's moon Enceladus is considered to be one of the best places to search for life. Now, new research from a team of biologists suggests life on Enceladus might indeed be quite possible … and that we might already have evidence for it.
