jamesb: thanks for the correction. My grandson was pestering me to use the computer while I was answering the question and I looked at the wrong number!

The distance from the sun to Earth is 1 AU ( or 1 Astronomical Unit). So if Saturn is 9 times as far from the sun than Earth is, then 1 x 9 = 9.
9 AUs

1 AU is the distance from Earth to the sun... since Saturn is 9X further, it's 9 AU's from the sun.

The Answer is "about" 9 AU, given your information is correct.
The actual distance is 886.15 Million Miles from the Sun (average). My calculation shows 9.53 AU.

At aphelion (furthest from the sun) Saturn is ~ 10.05 AU.
At perihelion (closest to the sun) Saturn is ~ 9.02 AU.

NJ Guy was thinking of Jupiter. The answer is already in the question: 9 . .
