The Second Largest Planet
Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system.A hollow Saturn would fit about 750 Earths inside it.Like Jupiter, Saturn is a gas planet, made of mostly hydrogen and helium.Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and was named after the Greek god of farming.Even if you look 
through a powerful telescope on Earth, you only see a few rings.The large rings are made of lots of smaller rings.The rings are made of pieces of ice, some as small as a fingernail and some as large as a house.The rings are also made of dust and rock and are nearly 170 thousand [170,000] miles across but less than 3 miles thick.

Titan's atmosphere is mostly made of nitrogen.

It's from an English newspaper and it has some beautiful photos of Earth, taken from a space station.
I wish I could see Earth from space - it looks wonderful!
