MOONS AMONG THE RINGS
Saturn has
at least 18 moons. Many are small, all of them are composed of large amounts
of ices with some rocky material. Like most other moons, they are all locked
in rotation with the same side always facing Saturn. Many of the moons
show heavy cratering on the leading side. At least one of the moons has
an atmosphere.
