Saturn is the 2nd largest, the most moons and the largest rings in the solar system.

## Satellites

Saturn has 146 confirmed moons, making it the first planet in the solar system to have over 100 moons orbiting around it. It also has the most round moons having 7 round moons and the most regular moons having 24.

### Unconfirmed Satellites

As of June 2023, Saturn has at least 20 unconfirmed moons and their orbital elements have not yet calculated, meaning it would take years before it will be calculated.

### Moonlets

Saturn also has moonlets and they are dense. Saturn has 150 moonlets and classified as "Propeller moonlets" since their gravity within the ring are shaped like propeller. 5 out of 150 have been observed:

* Earhart
* Bleriot
* Santos-Dumont
* Erixa
* Peggy
