how many miles is it from earth to saturn?

Answer 1

The mean distance from the earth to the sun is 149.6x10^6 km and the mean distance from sun to saturn is 1427x10^6 km. This was found using kepler's 2nd and 3rd law. But the problem is that you cant take these distances and subtract them because the orbits are elipses so and the earth is inside of saturns orbit so earth does about 10 orbits for every on of saturns so to really figure it out you have to find the exact equations for each elliptical(thy are not perfect ellipes either) orbit, then integrate both equations. Call earths equation equation 1 and saturns equation 2. Then multiply equation 1 by 9.5877 because thats how many times earth years there are for saturns(about 10 orbits). This will give you the mean distance between the 2. If you actually get the equations then you can calculate the earth and saturn at their furtherest distances from the sun and take the difference. then you can put the earth net to the sun at that end of the elipse and the saturn at the furthest form the sun and take the diffrence. This is the only ways I can think of. You might want to email NASA on that one.

Answer 2

In round numbers, Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun and Saturn is 887 million miles from the Sun, so When Earth and Saturn are on the same side of the Sun, they are 887-93=795 million miles apart and when they are on opposite sides of the Sun they are 887+93=980 million miles apart. So it varies between 795 million and 980 million miles.

Answer 3

It is 1.4 billion miles from Saturn to the Sun, it is 150,000,000 miles from Earth to the Sun.

Conclusion: It is 1.25 billion miles from Saturn to Earth.

Answer 4

I think iron_composite read his web site wrong.

The minimum is 1.196 billion kilometers.
The maximum is 1.659 billion kilometers.

Nobody, except newspapers and TV reporters, uses miles for distances like this.

Answer 5

The distance varies between 1.216 and 1.363 billion kilometers, depending on where the 2 planets are in their orbits.
