Saturn's wind velocities
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
are symmetrical about its equator. They are 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
measured by taking into account the planet's rotation period and observing 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
its radio emissions. Most winds move eastward and have positive 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
velocities; the westward winds have negative velocities. Saturn has little 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
thermal contrast, which suggests that the winds are very effective in 
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
moving heat between the equator and the poles.
