=== Interior === Saturn's inside is similar to Jupiter's inside. At the centre is a small rocky core that is about the size of the Earth.<ref name=rgo>{{cite web |url=http://www.oarval.org/section3_11.htm |title=Saturn |work=Information Leaflet No. 42 |publisher=[[Royal Observatory, Greenwich|Royal Greenwich Observatory]] |year=2009 |access-date=April 26, 2011 |archive-date=February 16, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220216154134/http://www.oarval.org/section3_11.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> Saturn's core is very hot, with [[temperature|temperatures]] reaching 15,000 [[Kelvin|K]] ({{convert|26540|F|C|0|lk=off|abbr=on}}). Saturn is so hot that it loses more [[heat energy|heat]] to space than it gets from the Sun.<ref name=heat /> The core is heavy, with about 9 to 22 times more mass than the Earth's core.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Fortney|first=Jonathon J.|year=2004|title=Looking into the giant planets|url=http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/305/5689/1414|access-date=April 30, 2007|journal=Science 305 (5689): 1414β1415 |volume=305 |issue=5689 |pages=1414β1415 |doi=10.1126/science.1101352 |pmid=15353790 }}</ref> Above the core is a thicker layer of [[metallic hydrogen]] that is about {{convert|30000|km|mi|0|lk=off|abbr=on}} deep.
