1. Pan and Atlas Pan is very small. It is the closest moon to Saturn and orbits within the Enckle Division, a gap within Saturn's A ring. Pan is an irregular moon, much smaller than our moon. Pan was discovered in 1990 and is 20km across. Pan is 133,583km from Saturn, so it takes about 12 hours to orbit the gas giant. Atlas is small but bigger than pan. It is approximately 34km in diameter. Altas orbits at the outer edge of the A ring. This tiny moon was discovered in 1980 and is 137,640km from Saturn. Atlas takes 13 hours to orbit Saturn. Atlas was discovered by Voyager 2 in 1980. Atlas is an irregular moon.

2. Prometheus and Pandora Prometheus orbits in front of Saturn's F ring. It is 100km in diameter and takes more than 13 hours to go around Saturn. Prometheus is 139,350km from the gas giant. Prometheus is an irregular moon. This tiny moon is slowly tugging the F ring, twisting it into strange shapes. Prometheus was discovered by Voyager 2 in 1980. This small moon, like Prometheus is tugging at the F ring. Pandora is an irregular moon and is 88km in diameter. It takes over 13 hours to orbit Saturn and is 141,700km from the giant goliath. Pandora was discovered by Voyager 2 in 1980.

3. Janus and Epimetheus Epimetheus orbits in the same place as Janus. Epimetheus is irregular and is 110km in diameter. It is 151,483km from its parent planet. It takes nearly 14 hours to orbit. Epimetheus was discovered when Saturn's rings were tilted on to us. Janus orbits between the F ring and the G ring. Janus and is neighbour moon Epimetheus are very strange. Every four years, these small moons swap orbits. Janus is 191km in diameter and is 151,422km from Saturn. Janus was discovered in 1966 and takes 13 hours to orbit Saturn. Janus is an irregular moon. Janus was discovered when Saturn's rings were tilted on to us.

4. Mimas Mimas is the smallest regular moon of Saturn, with a diameter of 398km. Mimas is covered in craters. One of the craters, Herschel, is a sixth the size of this moon, the same size as Epimetheus. Mimas is very small, smaller than the entire United Kingdom. Mimas is 185,520km from Saturn. It takes about 22 hours to orbit Saturn. Mimas was discovered by William Herschel in 1789.

5. Enceladus Enceladus is one of the strangest moons in the Solar System. From deep within the moon, water rises through the surface and erupts as a water geyser. The surface is cracked, grooved and cratered. As you can see, the cracks on the southern hemisphere are blue, but nobody knows why. And from enceladus’ water vapour geysers, the tiny moon is slowly striping Saturn's ionosphere away. Enceladus is 498km in diameter and is 238,020km from the gas giant, making its orbital period 1 day and 5 hours. Enceladus was discovered by William Herschel in 1789.

6. Tethys, Calypso and Telesto Tethys is the fifth largest moon of Saturn and orbits 294,660km from the gas giant. It takes 1 day and 19 hours to orbit, is 1,060km in diameter and was discovered in 1684. Telesto is irregular and lumpy. It orbits the same distance as Tethys and because of this, it takes the same time to orbit. It is 25km in diameter and was discovered in 1980. Calypso is slightly smaller than Telesto, only 16km in diameter. It takes the same time to orbit, discovered at the same time as Telesto and the same distance from Saturn.

7. Dione and Helene Dione is Saturn's fourth largest moon. Parts of it are streaked with cracks and bombarded by asteroids. It orbits 377,400km from Saturn and takes 2 days 18 hours to orbit. It was discovered in 1684 and is 1120km in diameter. This tiny moon shares the orbit of Dione. It was discovered in 1980. It is irregular and is 32km in diameter. It is covered in craters and the surface is ridged by mountains.

8. Rhea Rhea is second largest moon of Saturn. It looks a lot like dione. It is littered with craters, cracks and grooves. Compared to our moon, Rhea would be a quarter of its size, proving how big it is. Rhea is 1528km in diameter and is 527,040. rhea takes 4 days 12 hours to orbit and was discovered by Giovanni Cassini in 1672.

9. Titan Titan is Saturn's largest moon. Titan is one of the most surprising objects in the solar system. The only reason is that it has an atmosphere that is three times thicker than earths. The atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and methane. In 2004, the Huygens probe made by the European space agency (ESA), an extra probe connected to the cassini probe to Saturn, descended to the surface of the moon and found pools of methane water. Titan is 5150km in diameter and is 1221850km from Saturn, taking 15 days and 20 hours to go round. Titan was discovered by Christian Huygens in 1655.

10. Hyperion Hyperion is the second largest irregular moon of Saturn it is cratered and ridged. Hyperion is strange. It looks like it had shedded its self into a strange shape. Hyperion is 280km in diameter and takes 21 days 5 hours to orbit Saturn. This is because it is 1481100km from the goliath. Hyperion was discovered in 1848.

11. Iapetus Iapetus is very strange. It has a giant ridge on the equator and a giant crater a quarter of its size. Also one side of it is white and icy, while the other side is dark and dusty. It is 1436km in diameter and is 3561300km from Saturn making the time for orbit, 79 days 9 hours. Iapetus was discovered by Giovanni Cassini in 1672.

12. Phoebe Phoebe, the largest irregular moon of Saturn, orbits really far from the gas giant. It is made of 36% rock and dust and 64% ice and water. Phoebe is thought to have come from the Kuiper Belt, a bubble of comets beyond the planet Neptune. Phoebe is 220km in diameter and is 12952000km from Saturn making its orbital period more than a year to orbit, 550 days and 11 hours. This moon was discovered in 1898. Phoebe orbits in the opposite direction to the other moons.
