How far away is Saturn from the sun?

Question

please explain and i mean the planet (plus i dont need websites.....)

Answer 1

The orbit ia not a perfect circle but an ellipse in shape (an oval) so the distance varies a bit according to where Saturn is in its orbit. (It takes 29.46 Earth Years for Saturn to go round the Sun once.)

There is a far-point when it is at its furthest distance from the Sun (called aphelion)

There is a near-point when it is at its nearest distance from the Sun (called perihelion)

There is an average distance from the sun (this is called the semi-major axis)

Aphelion distance: 1,503,983,449 km 10.053 508 40 AU
Perihelion distance: 1,349,467,375 km 9.020 632 24 AU
Semi-major axis: 1,426,725,413 km 9.537 070 32 AU

As you can see, has given you the perihelion distance

Answer 2

9.02AU (1 AU = the distance from the Sun to the Earth.)

To put this in perspective: 9 times further out than we are. It takes sunlight a little over 8 minutes to get to the Earth. It takes sunlight something like 75 minutes to get to Saturn.

The Earth and Saturn vary in distance between each other from 8AU at the closest, and 10 at the furthest.

It took the Cassini space probe 7 years to reach the planet Saturn. (2 years of this were spent flying by the planet Venus twice to get gravity boosts to go fast enough to make it to Saturn)

Answer 3

The power the planets have do no longer unavoidably come from the daylight. for instance, the nice and cozy temperature from contained in the earth is thoroughly un-photo voltaic. In our case it truly is radioactive factors deep in the planet and from the residual gravitational energies that helped to form the Earth. between the shows on Animal Planet educate critters residing off of the nice and cozy temperature & emissions from fissures in the earth deep in the oceans. those critters are thoroughly non-photo voltaic. similar too with the numerous gas planets. Their energies come from the gravitational forces by their huge lots (and that i'm guessing a particular quantity arises from radioactivity to boot). IIRC from my astronomy classification if Jupiter were 10x extra massive than it truly is it would want to have became right into a celebrity.

Answer 4

Please learn to use Wikipedia. All of these solar system questions that you asked today are answered on Wikipedia. "(plus I don't need websites...)" makes you look like a lazy girl who can't be bothered to do her homework properly.

Answer 5

1,429,400,000 km from the Sun. This is proven as it is in my science textbook and textbooks are always right.

Answer 6

About a billion miles, something like that.

Answer 7

same distance as a ford or toyota give or take a few miles
