Weather Report
Daily Average Temperature is -168 degrees Celsius
Saturn is pretty great but every good thing has comes with a price right? On this marvelous planet there are quite a few hurricanes, so when visiting stay alert! It goes up to 531 km per hour! It's also pretty cold there, I mean -168 degrees ? If that's not cold I don't know what is! But I guess if you're a fan of cold then this this is the place for you. If you're not a fan that's okay too. it's nothing a few layers of clothing won't fix.
