[Zoo]

Well, yes, but before that

[Rylkan]

If you mean the source, it is their diet of insects that give them their toxicity.

[Zoo]

Yep, that's what I meant. Your turn again .

[Rylkan]

Saturn is produces more radiation than it receives from the sun. What process do people believe is responsible for this.

[Zziggywolf5]

Nuclear fission?

[Rylkan]

Nope, sorry. Not enough mass to create the pressure and tempratures to use fusion as a power source.

[Zziggywolf5]

Well, techinically I said fission, but I'm guessing that's wrong too?

[Rylkan]

Misread it, but yeah, fission would be incorrect as well.

[Ratty]

Nuclear decay? =S

That causes radiation. *shrug*

[Rylkan]

Nope. I am sure it has that, but not the reason I am looking for. Alot of textbooks quote it as being the biggest reason, I will say this much, involves condensation.

[Neraphym]

Oh, its ice rings sublime maybe?

[Rylkan]

Nope.

[Zziggywolf5]

The friction from the gasses spinning due to the heavy storms produces huge amounts of heat, which is actually thermal radiation... I'm grasping at straws here.

[Rylkan]

There is thermal radiation converted from angular momentum, but that's not the main source (or at least the source professors pound into my head.)

Another hint would be the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy.

[Neraphym]

Ah, the orbital decay of all of saturns satellites! I remember hearing that eventually, saturn will lose its rings and stuff. I guess the lowing of the orbit gives off energy somehow... maybe?
