The earth is about 8 minuites from the sun at light speed. (186K miles per second) This means that saturn is still much less than a light year away from the Earth. You can figure it out with a simple math equation.
Take Saturn's distance from the Earth.
Divide that number by the speed of light.
Convert the answer into years instead of seconds.
