The best place to get some amazing diamonds?
People answered it's jewelry shop. How about going to Saturn?
It rains diamonds on the planet Saturn due to the presence of methane there.
Explanation - It is a well-known fact that about half of a percent of Saturn's atmosphere comprises of methane. Using this information, Kevin and the study's co-author - planetary scientist Mona Delitsky, deduced that the lightning burns up the methane that is present in the atmosphere and transforms the odorless, colorless gas into something we are all familiar with - soot or carbon. As clouds of the black carbon are 'raining' down on the planet, they clump together and form graphite which gets subjected to intense pressure from the atmosphere as it gets closer to the planet's core and transforms into the shiny precious stones that we lovingly call diamonds. While Jupiter's atmosphere comprises of only 0.2% methane the scientists believe that a similar phenomenon occurs there too.
