If we live on Saturn, would we ever see the Sun?

Question

Cause of the moons.

When moon blocked sun, we get eclipse.

So do people on Saturn ever seen the Sun everyday?

Answer 1

The moons of Saturn are very small compared to Earth's moon. They do cast shadows on the cloud tops of Saturn, but they are very small (compared to the planet) and move fairly quickly.

The problem with seeing the sun is that if you were on the surface of Saturn you'd be under hundreds of miles of opaque clouds. You'd never see Saturn's moons, the sun, or the stars.

Answer 2

First of all, there are no people on Saturn. We see Saturn by reflected sunlight, so the Sun's light _must_ be able to reach Saturn. It's moons are very small in diameter compared to Saturn's size, so the shadow of a moon on Saturn is very tiny and doesn't block much light. The shadows of Saturn's moons fall on the planet for only two short periods out of Saturn's 29-year trip around the Sun, when the Sun is in the smae plane as the orbits of the moons; the rest of the time the shadows fall above or below. Saturn's ring casts a large shadow on Saturn, but the ring is transparent, so some sunlight gets through.

Answer 3

There will be more eclipses but unless there is a continuous belt across the sun, you will see sun whenever one moon clears off. The only difference is that the sun will be much smaller than the moon (moon will be much closer to you) and hence the sun will look like a big star and will be totally blocked by the moons.

After reading the other two answers, I am editing to add that I am presuming you to be safely above the clouds of Saturn in your own spaceship facing the sunlit side of saturn.

Answer 4

The moons on Saturn are way to small to block out the light from the sun, even though the sun is smaller than we see it on earth. And there are no people on Saturn, it is a gas planet.

Answer 5

They would see the sun if they knew were to look. Out there the sun would look like all the other stars in the sky. The sun would be the brightest.
And the shadows of the saturn moon flash past so quickly you would hardly notice on Saturn. Look at any picture of saturn. If there were eclipses all the time saturn would be all black...
And saturn does not have a surface to stand on. It is a gas giant similar to jupiter.

Answer 6

The moons of Saturn are small, and the bigger ones quite distant from the planet. They cover very little of the sky as seen from Saturn. Eclipses would be rare.

And the sun, though less than a tenth the size we see it, would still be too bright to look at directly.

Answer 7

If a person could live on Saturn, they would never see the sun because Saturn is surrounded by thick clouds.

But no human life could live on Saturn because it's atmosphere is poison to us and it would only take one breath to kill life as we know it.

Answer 8

yes. but the moons near saturn are far away from the planet, so it is very easy to see the sun.

Answer 9

No, you wouldn't see the sun, but it would be because you would instantly freeze to death, not because of the moons being in the way.

Answer 10

Hi. They would have to live deep in the clouds, so I would think not. Nothing to do with the moons.
