Saturn
9.58 AU from Sun
Saturn's iconic rings are made of ice and rock, ranging from tiny grains to chunks as large as a house. Despite its massive size, Saturn is the least dense planet — it would float on water.

Neptune
30.07 AU from Sun
Neptune has the fastest winds in the solar system at 2,100 km/h. Its largest moon, Triton, orbits backwards and is likely a captured Kuiper Belt object — destined to be torn apart in 3.6 billion years.
