Temperatures at the equator are very high but there is one single point on the equator where youâll find snow. The highest point on the equator is 4,690m, on the south slopes of VolcÃ¡n Cayambe in Ecuador, so in theory, you could go skiing on the equator. (Please let me in on your plans if you decide to go)
Thanks in advance for your assistance. All of the giant planets in our solar system have rings: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter's ring is thin and dark, and cannot be seen from Earth. Saturn's rings are the most magnificent; they are bright, wide, and colorful. Uranus has nine dark rings around it, and Neptune's rings are also dark, but contain a few bright arcs.
AlthoughÂ­ Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune have rings of their own, none are as spectacular as Saturn's. Saturn's rings are also one of the great mysteries in space. But as our spacecraft edge closer than ever to the rings, we're getting a more complete picture of what they're made of and how they came to exist. Saturn has six main rings, each composed of thousands of tiny ringlets. The rings are huge -- the biggest ones spanning 170,000 miles (273,588 km) in diameter. They are, however, proportionately very thin -- only about 650 feet (200 meters) thick. They aren't solid, as they appear from Earth, but are instead made up of floating chunks of water ice, rocks and dust that range in size from specks to enormous, house-sized pieces that orbit Saturn in a ring pattern.
