LIFE POST
On the the planet Saturn it doesn't have water because its considered a gas giant and it doesn't have a surface like earth and other planets do. It doesn't have a magnetic field. Its a "poof" planet. It doesn't have an oxygen atmosphere. It has 75% hydrogen and 25% helium. There is no life on Saturn yet.
One planet that may have life in our solar system is Titan. Titan is one of Saturn's moons. The body is orbiting Saturn now. Some scientists believe life isn't on Titan. I agree that life cannot be on Titan because it is not possible. Saturn is unable to have life on it because there is nothing that other organisms can live under these many extreme conditions. Organisms that can live in extreme environments are known as extremeophiles. People are unable to live under any extreme conditions because they can't live in the freezing cold, they cannot live in very hot weather like magma temperatures in volcanos.

Distance From Earth to Saturn
Space is measured in Kilometers, AUs and light years. AUs are measured the most because there is so much space between planets. Kilometers are smaller uses of measurement. The Light years are the most large amounts of measure from space.
Saturn is 8 AUs away from us. It would take us 30 years to get to Saturn and to do a complete orbit around the planet. Humans are not able to reach Saturn because it is so far away from us and we would be dead before we were even half there.

Supernovas
A supernova is an exploding star that can become billions of times bright as the sun before gradually fading from view. In the middle of the explosion this blast may outshine an entire galaxy. The blast can "Throw" a large cloud of dust and gas into deep space. The mass of the expelled material may be at least 10 times greater than the sun's mass. If a white dwarf reaches a mass of about 1.4 times greater than the sun it would collapse and blow up.

Saturn Accretion
The first step in Saturn's formation is it was first a solar nebula about 4.6 billion years ago.Saturn in this state was nothing but a huge cloud of dust and cold gas which was distributed by colliding with another cloud or the shockwaves of a supernova. After this stage the cloud compressed down forming Saturn's protostar. Next the ices from the protostar combined and clumped together to form larger and larger planetesimals. Then these planetesimals formed in a planet of saturn but not the one we know today. It was first a protoplanet before it got its rings. Particles from a moon and space debris collided to go around Saturn to form its rings and the planet Saturn today was born. Accretion is the formation of when a nebula forms into a planet.
