Check the first link for the pics.\n\nSaturn's equator is tilted relative to its orbit by 27 degrees, very similar to the 23-degree tilt of the Earth. As Saturn moves along its orbit, first one hemisphere, then the other is tilted towards the Sun. This cyclical change causes seasons on Saturn, just as the changing orientation of Earth's tilt causes seasons on our planet. The first image in this sequence, on the lower left, was taken soon after the autumnal equinox in Saturn's Northern Hemisphere (which is the same as the spring equinox in its Southern Hemisphere). By the final image in the sequence, on the upper right, the tilt is nearing its extreme, or winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere).\n\nAstronomers are studying this set of images to investigate the detailed variations in the color and brightness of the rings. They hope to learn more about the rings' composition, how they were formed, and how long they might last. Saturn's rings are incredibly thin, with a thickness of only about 30 feet (10 meters). The rings are made of dusty water ice, in the form of boulder-sized and smaller chunks that gently collide with each other as they orbit around Saturn. Saturn's gravitational field constantly disrupts these ice chunks, keeping them spread out and preventing them from combining to form a moon. The rings, as shown here, have a slight pale reddish color due to the presence of organic material mixed with the water ice.\n\nSaturn is about 75,000 miles (120,000 km) across, and is flattened at the poles because of its very rapid rotation. A day is only 10 hours long on Saturn. Strong winds account for the horizontal bands in the atmosphere of this giant gas planet. The delicate color variations in the clouds are due to smog in the upper atmosphere, produced when ultraviolet radiation from the Sun shines on methane gas. Deeper in the atmosphere, the visible clouds and gases merge gradually into hotter and denser gases, with no solid surface for visiting spacecraft to land on. \n\n\nThe second link tells you something about Saturn\n\nst

The tilt of the earths axis is what gives the northern and southern hemisphere different seasons. when the northern hemisphere is inclined towards the sun its summer here (June), when the southern hemisphere is inclined towards the sun its winter here (Dec). In between these times its hottest at the equator!\n\nThe tilt of the earths axis changes over geological time though, so the seasons will inevitably change.

There O. K. But What About The Other Months Of The Year?

Only Mars and Saturn are visible.  Towards the end of April, Jupiter will appear.  If you get up early in the morning, you might still be able to catch Venus and Mercury.

Summer and Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, i.e. for countries north of the equator are seasons that occur, along with Spring and Autumn (or Fall) as follows.\n\nSpring : March 21st to June 21st.\nSummer : June 22nd to September 21st.\nAutumn : September 22nd to December 21st\nWinter : December 22nd to March 20th.\n\n\nHowever the seasons are seen differently. Most people see Spring as starting in mid-March until mid June and Summer from then until September but Autumn until late October with Winter from then until the following march.\n\nIn the Southern hemisphere, south of the equator the seasons are reversed by six months so they would be\n\nAutumn : March 21st to June 21st\nWinter : June 22nd to September 21st\nSpring : September 22nd to December 21st\nSummer : December 22nd to March 20th.\n\nIn Australia Christmas Day is usually spent having a barbecue on the beach.\n\nThe reason for this difference is due to the Earth tilting as it orbits the Sun so that every six months the two poles become 'reversed' as far as closeness or proximity to the Sun is concerned.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest planet in our solar system. Only Jupiter is larger. In spite of it's giant size, though, Saturn doesn't weigh very much. In fact, as a whole,Saturn is lighter than water and would float in a bathtub if you had one big enough (of course the water bill would be extremely high).

The Scientists don't know yet, so if they don't know we don't know. We can only guess to what it is.\n\n\nScientists said it was unclear whether Saturn's storm was a water-driven system.\n\nIt differs from Earth hurricanes in part because it remains stuck at the pole rather than drifting as such storms do on this planet and because it did not form over a liquid water ocean, with Saturn being a gaseous planet, NASA said.\n\n"It looks like a hurricane, but it doesn't behave like a hurricane," Andrew Ingersoll, a member of Cassini's imaging team at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, said in a statement. "Whatever it is, we're going to focus on the eye of this storm and find out why it's there."\n\nFlasar said scientists have more work ahead to understand the Saturn storm.\n\n"I'm hoping that as we puzzle over it, it will become even more exciting as we start to connect the dots in our brains. But right now, the wheels are a little creaky," Flasar said. "We're all arguing with each other about what it might or might not be."

The angle earth makes with its axis causes seasons. The distance between earth and sun is not effective on seasons, because in summer months the earth is farther from sun, and in winters it gets closer.

NO, angle of the earth on it's axis limits sunlight for a few months. The days never warm up.

Since Saturn does not rotate on its axis at a uniform rate, two rotation periods have been assigned to it (as in Jupiter's case): System I has a period of 10 h 14 min 00 s (844.3°/d) and encompasses the Equatorial Zone, which extends from the northern edge of the South Equatorial Belt to the southern edge of the North Equatorial Belt. All other Saturnian latitudes have been assigned a rotation period of 10 h 39 min 24 s (810.76°/d), which is System II. System III, based on radio emissions from the planet, has a period of 10 h 39 min 22.4 s (810.8°/d); because it is very close to System II, it has largely superseded it.\n\nWhile approaching Saturn in 2004, the Cassini spacecraft found that the radio rotation period of Saturn had increased slightly, to approximately 10 h 45 m 45 s (± 36 s).  The cause of the change is unknown — however, it is thought that this is due to a movement of the radio source to a different latitude inside Saturn, with a different rotational period, rather than an actual change in Saturn's rotation.

Saturn has a large number of moons. The precise figure will never be certain as the orbiting chunks of ice in Saturn's rings are all technically moons, and it is difficult to draw a distinction between a large ring particle and a tiny moon. Seven of the moons are massive enough to have collapsed into a spheroid under their own gravitation. These are compared to Earth's moon in the table below. Saturn's most noteworthy moon is Titan, the only moon in the solar system to have a dense atmosphere.\n\nThough it has 47 confirmed satellites.

The above is an incorrect answer. Seasons do not occur because of the distance of the earth to the sun. In fact, during winter, the earth is physically closer to the sun and during the summer, it is furthest.\n\nTilt is key. Its important that not only is there a tilt on the earth, but the direction of that tilt is not altered during the rotation of the earth around the sun.\n\nThe Northern hemisphere is always tilting away during the winter, and towards the sun during the summer. The tilt of the earth is 23 degrees. So lets say you're at 45 degrees lattitude. During the summer, the sun will rise to 45+23 (68) degrees because the tilt is towards it, and in winter, the sun only goes to 45-23 (22) degrees. There is a big difference between the sun going up 22 degrees and the sun going to 68 degrees.\n\nWhen the sun goes to 68 degrees, it is more overhead, and the earth therefore receives more of its rays. During winter, light rays are striking obliquely, and hence do not warm the earth as much.\n\nThis is why there are less variations of seasons around the equator, where the sun is almost always directly overhead all the time.\n\nAnd this is why seasons are reversed on the southern hemisphere. When the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, the south is tilting away.

Of the 4 you present, Saturn, the furthest from the sun, appears to move slowest ON AVERAGE.  This ignores the fact that Mercury appears to stop entirely twice in its orbit since we're looking at it from outside its entire orbit.\n\nPluto would take honors of all the planets even though it is closer  than Neptune for part of its orbit.....

Yes, you can see Leo from North Carolina, but not all year as the constellation annually slips behind the sun because of the earth's revolutions around the sun.\n\nGet yourself a star guide, it will tell you when Leo is visible. Right now, November/December, Leo is rising in the late evening. As a bonus, the planet Saturn is currently situated in Leo.

Like night and day, the northern half of the planet has the opposite season from the southern half. And along the equitor there's really not much season at all!\n\nOn the other side of the planet from you (east and west)  it's 12 hours difference in time, yes? So if it's noon where you are then it's midnight there.\n\nAnd on the opposite side of the planet from you (north and south) the weather is like six months difference ... middle of the summer for you is middle of the winter there.\n\nIt's all about where the sun is, as earth spins (day/night) and orbits around (summer/winter).

Yeah! there really something .Which ones are you talking about . the ones from Saturn? Or Saturn's moons.

First off earthquakes can't occur on Jupiter or Saturn since their "surface" is fluid.  \n\nIt's my understanding that earthquakes are the result of active plate tectonics.  Active plate tectonics only occur in our solar system on this planet.  So my guess is no.  Maybe in the past thought.
