Scientific paper

A simplified homogeneous model of Saturn's atmosphere was used to interpret available data on the degree of polarization of the planet's central disk in the wavelength interval 0.5-0.8 micron. It was assumed that the aerosol particles are nonabsorbing spheres with normal logarithmic size distribution, that the refractive index is independent of wavelength, and that the upper cloud layers consist of frozen ammonia. Comparison of the theoretical and observational results shows that the refractive index can be 1.33-1.44.
