Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and is the second largest in the solar system with an equatorial diameter of 119,300 kilometers (74,130 miles). Much of what is known about the planet is due to the Voyager explorations in 1980-81. Saturn is visibly flattened at the poles, a result of the very fast rotation of the planet on its axis. Its day is 10 hours, 39 minutes long, and it takes 29.5 Earth years to revolve about the Sun.

74,898 miles (120,536 km) across it's equator. That 944.9% larger than Earth's diameter. Saturn's rapid rotation (one day is 10 hours and 14 minutes) makes it more oblong with the polls being flattened
