Enceladus, sixth sab se barraa Saturn ke chaand hae aur Saur Mandal ke 18th sab se barraa hae. iske diameter lagbhag 500 kilometers (310 miles) hae,[4] aur ii Saturn ke sab se barraa chaand, Titan ke one-tenth hae. Ii snow se covered hae aur saur mandal me ke sab se reflective chij me se ek hae. Iske kaaran iske surface temperature, din me 12 baje khaali −198 °C (75.1 K; −324.4 °F) talak pahuche sake hae. Iske chhota size ke bawajuut Enceladus me dher surface features hae, puraana cratered regions se nawaa, deformed terrain.
