This huge planet has a stormy atmosphere made up of hydrogen and helium. Winds have been clocked at 1,800 kilometers per hour (1,118 miles per hour) near Saturn's equator. These winds and the heat rising from its interior create bands in Saturn's outer atmosphere. These yellow and gold atmospheric bands are visible from Earth.
