Abby and Kayla went to their library to find books that would help them to plan their trip. They studied rocket ship plans, fuel consumption, the distance to Saturn, and conditions on the planet.

"Abby, did you know Saturn is thought to be -270 degrees?" Kayla asked. Abby did not know that the planet could be so much colder than Earth. Abby pointed out that Saturn has at least 18 natural satellites while Earth has only one moon. They were surprised to discover that Saturn has hundreds of tiny rings encircling the planet.
