Satur
Saturn (pronounced /'sæt?n/) is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter. Along with the planets Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune it is classify as a gas giant (also known as a Jovian planet, after the planet Jupiter). It was named after the Roman god Saturnus, equate to the Greek Kronos (the Titan father of Zeus) and the Babylonian Ninurta. Saturn's sign represents the god's sickle (Unicode: ?), The day in the week Saturday gets its name from the planet.
The planet Saturn is calm of hydrogen, with small proportions of helium and trace elements. The interior consists of a small core of rock and ice, bounded by a thick layer of metallic hydrogen and a gaseous outer layer. The outer atmosphere is normally bland in appearance, although long-lived features can appear. Wind speeds on Saturn can reach 1,800 km/h, considerably faster than those on Jupiter. Saturn has a planetary magnetic field intermediate in strength among that of Earth and the more powerful field around Jupiter.

Pineapple
The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant and fruit (multiple), inhabitant to Uruguay, Brazil, Puerto Rico, or Paraguay. It is a medium tall (1–1.5 m) herbaceous perennial plant with 30 or more trough-shaped and pointed leaves 30–100 cm long, nearby a thick stem. The pineapple is an illustration of a multiple fruit: multiple, spirally-arranged flowers along the axis each make a fleshy fruit that becomes pressed against the fruits of adjacent flowers, forming what appears to be a single fleshy fruit. The leaves of the cultivar 'Smooth Cayenne' mostly lack spines apart from at the leaf tip, but the cultivars 'Spanish' and 'Queen' have large spines along the leaf margins. Pineapples are the only bromeliad fruit in extensive cultivation. It is one of the most commercially important plants which take out Crassulacean acid metabolism, or CAM photosynthesis.

Fixed asset
Fixed asset also familiar as property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), is a term used in accountancy for assets and goods which cannot easily be converted into cash. This can be differing with current assets such as cash or bank accounts, which are describe as liquid assets. In most cases, only tangible assets are also called as fixed.
It usually includes items such as land and buildings, motor vehicles, furniture, office tools, computers, fixtures and fittings, and plant and machinery. These frequently receive favorable tax treatment (deprecation allowance) over short-term assets because they depreciate in excess of time.

Soil
Soil, comprising the pedosphere, is located at the border of the lithosphere with the biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. It consists of mineral, organic matter, as well as living organisms. Soil formation, or pedogenesis, is the combined effect of physical, chemical, biological, and anthropogenic process on soil parent material ensuing in the configuration of soil horizons.
Soil is our most important natural resources because of its position in the landscape and its dynamic, physical, chemical, and biologic functions. While the general concept of soil is well recognized, the definition of soil varies, according to the viewpoint of the discipline or occupation by means of soil as a resource.
