how do you calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Saturn. i know the radius of Saturn is about 5.85 x 107 m and its mass is 5.68 x 1026 kg.

gs = GMs/(Rs)² = 6.67E-11*5.68E26/(5.85E7)² = 11.07 m/s²
About 13% more than on the surface of the earth

Assuming that you mean the the acceleration of a falling object. mass and shape of the object?
in or outside the atmosphere?
or is "saturn" simply a mass in a vaccum?

the calculation: g=GM /r2 firstly g is the acceleration of the earth the big G is an constant number that i dont know we know acceleration of earth 9.8 m/s2 the question mark is the mass of earth and the radius of earth after finding big G .you can find the accelaration of mars by the same formula

much easier to work with the GRAVITY of 1.08 which is what your numbers will give you
