what is the position of saturn in the solar system
Saturn Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth.[12][13] It has only one-eighth the average density of Earth, but with its larger volume Saturn is over 95 times more massive.[14][15][16] Saturn is named after the Roman god of agriculture; its astronomical symbol (â™„) represents the god's sickle.
Saturn The average distance between Saturn and the Sun is over 1.4 billion kilometers (9 AU). With an average orbital speed of 9.68 km/s,[5] it takes Saturn 10,759 Earth days (or about ​29 1⁄2 years)[69] to finish one revolution around the Sun.[5] As a consequence, it forms a near 5:2 mean-motion resonance with Jupiter.[70] The elliptical orbit of Saturn is inclined 2.48° relative to the orbital plane of the Earth.[5] The perihelion and aphelion distances are, respectively, 9.195 and 9.957 AU, on average.[5][71] The visible features on Saturn rotate at different rates depending on latitude and multiple rotation periods have been assigned to various regions (as in Jupiter's case).
Kepler's laws of planetary motion Most planetary orbits are nearly circular, and careful observation and calculation are required in order to establish that they are not perfectly circular. Calculations of the orbit of Mars, whose published values are somewhat suspect,[2] indicated an elliptical orbit. From this, Johannes Kepler inferred that other bodies in the Solar System, including those farther away from the Sun, also have elliptical orbits.
