Saturnâs rings: Up close and personal This image shows a region in Saturn’s outer B ring. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft viewed this area at a level of detail twice as high as it had ever been observed before. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 32,000 miles (51,000 kilometers) from the rings, and looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings.

Saturnâs rings: Up close and personal Density wave in Saturn’s A ring (at left). Density waves are accumulations of particles at certain distances from the planet. This feature is filled with clumpy perturbations, which researchers informally refer to as “straw.” The wave itself is created by the gravity of the moons Janus and Epimetheus, which share the same orbit around Saturn. Elsewhere, the scene is dominated by “wakes” from a recent pass of the ring moon Pan. This view was obtained at a distance of approximately 34,000 miles (56,000 kilometers) from the rings and looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings. Image scale is about a quarter-mile (340 meters) per pixel.

- Report Abuse. The average annual milage on a car should be 12,000 miles per year,so for example: if the car is 4 years old then the milage should be around 48,000 miles.On engines now a days,a good service history is more important to how many miles the car has done.

- Saturn’s average distance from the Sun is 1,400,000,000 km. The average orbital speed of Saturn is 9.69 km/s. It takes the earth 365 days to orbit the sun, Saturn takes 10,759 Earth days (or about 29½ years), to revolve around the sun; a year on Saturn is equivalent to 29.5 Earth years.

Disruption in Saturnâs F Ring The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on 8 April 2016. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 2.2 million kilometres (1.4 million miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 105 degrees. Image scale is 13 kilometres (8 miles) per pixel. Find out more about Saturn and its moons in this 196-page special edition from Astronomy Now.

How Far is Saturn from Earth? [/caption] The answer to ”how far is Saturn from Earth” has a different answer every day. As the planets move along their orbital paths they move nearer and further in comparison to each other. For the sake of simplicity, Saturn is 1.2 billion km, roughly 7 AU, from the Earth when the two are at their closest approach to one another. They are 1.67 billion km, around 11 AU, from each other when they are at their most distant.

All About Planet Saturn for Kids Gravitational force on Saturn is 108% the gravitational force on Earth. A 100 pound Earthling would weigh about 108 pounds on Saturn. Saturn is located an average of 855,000,000 miles from the sun. At its closest point, Earth and Saturn are more than 744,000,000 miles apart. At their farthest, the two planets are more than a billion miles apart. The atmosphere of Saturn is 96 percent hydrogen and three percent helium.

Why does Saturn have rings? Four robotic spacecraft from Earth have visited Saturn—Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Cassini. They have revealed many surprising things about Saturn's rings. The small color differences in Saturn's rings have been enhanced in this picture from Voyager 2 data. Over 60 bright and dark ringlets show up in this color enhanced image from Voyager 2 data. The rings are about 400,000 kilometers (240,000 miles) wide.

Johann Franz Encke In 1837 Encke discovered a (ca. 325 kilometer wide) gap within the A ring of Saturn, the so called Encke gap or Encke line. In 1838 his assistant and observer Johann Gottfried Galle (1812-1910) discovered the dark, inner C ring of Saturn at the time of the maxium ring opening.

Jupiter Saturn. Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, with a radius of 60,268 km (9.45 times Earth), and orbits at an average distance of 9.54 AU (1,429,400,000 km) from the Sun, taking 29 years to complete one orbit.

Extraterrestrial skies Saturn's rings would not be prominent from most of the moons. This is because the rings, though wide, are not very thick, and most of the moons orbit almost exactly (within 1.5°) in the planet's ring plane.

The Planet Saturn The Planet Saturn. Saturn is almost twice as far from the Sun as Jupiter at nearly 900 million miles. It is second in size in our solar system, surpassed only by Jupiter, but Saturn's mass is much smaller. Saturn's specific gravity is less than water's, meaning it would float on a body of water! Like Jupiter, Saturn rotates extremely fast, and completes a rotation in about 10 hours.

General Astronomy/Print version It follows an elliptical path around the Sun. The closest point of Saturn’s orbit is called its perihelion. At this point, Saturn is only 1.353 billion km or 9 astronomical units from the Sun (1 AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun). The most distant point of Saturn’s orbit is called aphelion.

The Orbit of Saturn. How Long is a Year on Saturn? Saturn orbits the Sun further away than Earth. And because of this, the orbit of Saturn takes much longer than the orbit of Earth.or part of its orbit, Saturn’s rings are seen at their widest point, and Saturn has its familiar ringed planet appearance. But then as it continues on its orbit around the Sun, the angle of Saturn’s rings decreases until they disappear entirely from our point of view.

Saturn Saturn is probably best known for the system of planetary rings that makes it visually unique. The rings extend from 6,630 km to 120,700 km outward from Saturn's equator, average approximately 20 meters in thickness and are composed of 93% water ice with traces of tholin impurities and 7% amorphous carbon.

Saturnâs Rings As the Voyager and Cassini spacecraft have shown, Saturn’s rings have amazingly complex structure and segmentation. In a telescope, you’ll easily see the two main A and B rings, and in steady sky at 100x or more, you may see the large gap between the two main rings. This is the Cassini division.

Saturn A precise value for the rotation period of the interior remains elusive. While approaching Saturn in 2004, Cassini found that the radio rotation period of Saturn had increased appreciably, to approximately 10 hr 45 min 45 sec (± 36 sec). The latest estimate of Saturn's rotation (as an indicated rotation rate for Saturn as a whole) based on a compilation of various measurements from the Cassini, Voyager and Pioneer probes was reported in September 2007 is 10 hr 32 min 35 sec.

The Width of Saturnâs Rings The Width of Saturn’s Rings The rings of Saturn are composed of billions of icy particles ranging in size from tiny grains to kilometres across. There are 14 major divisions in Saturn’s rings 12 rings and 2 gaps these are the D Ring, C Ring, B Ring, Cassini Division, A Ring, Roche Division, F Ring, Janus/Epimetheus Ring, G Ring, Methone Ring Arc, Anthe Ring Arc, Pallene Ring, E Ring and Phoebe Ring.
