Saturn is a gas giant made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. There is a dense metallic core at the center of the planet. It is surrounded by liquid metallic hydrogen and a layer of liquid hydrogen; the latter makes a gradual transition to a gas. Saturn's outermost layer of gas covers 1,000 km.
