Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Student responses will vary. A few comparisons to consider are:

Similarities:
comprised of liquid hydrogen and helium
same three cloud layers
belt zone circulation (but not as prevalent in Saturn as Jupiter)
rings (not as prevalent in Jupiter as Saturn)
differential rotation
possess large, active moons
have small inclination of orbit to ecliptic
similar periods of rotation

Differences:
Saturn is far less dense, so much it could float on water.
Jupiter is largest planet in the Solar System.
Jupiter has storms that have lasted for centuries.
Saturn is farther away from the Sun than Jupiter.
Jupiter is hotter.
