Moons of Saturn

The planet Saturn has 274 moons with confirmed and stable orbits. Sixty-three of these have officially been named, after Titans, Giants, or minor Greek or Roman gods. Most of these moons are very small: 248 of the above total are less than  in diameter. Saturn also has many moonlets, extremely tiny particles within Saturn's rings that orbit the planet.

## Confirmed moons

<div style="float:left;width:66.4%">
The moons of Saturn that were announced by 2018 are listed here by orbital period (or semi-major axis), from shortest to longest. Moons massive enough for their surfaces to have collapsed into a spheroid are highlighted in bold, while the irregular moons are listed in red, orange and gray background.</div>
