Detailed explanation-1: -Size and Distance From an average distance of 886 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers), Saturn is 9.5 astronomical units away from the Sun. One astronomical unit (abbreviated as AU), is the distance from the Sun to Earth. From this distance, it takes sunlight 80 minutes to travel from the Sun to Saturn.
Detailed explanation-2: -The average mean distance of the earth from the sun is 149.6 ×106 km and the period of the earth is 1.0 year. The average mean distance of Saturn from the sun is 1427 ×106 km.
Detailed explanation-3: -The equation for Kepler’s Third Law is P² = a³, so the period of a planet’s orbit (P) squared is equal to the size semi-major axis of the orbit (a) cubed when it is expressed in astronomical units.
Detailed explanation-4: -The distance is about 147 million km (91.3 million miles).
