1 Saturn is 886 million miles, or 1426 million kilometres, from the Sun. 2  Distances from the Sun are measured in Astronomical Units (AU). 3  The Earth is the standard unit, and is one AU from the Sun, so an AU equals 150 million kilometres (93 million miles), the distance of the Earth from the Sun.
And, this does not only refer to our system of measurement that is based on a 360-degree circle, but upon the relation of the inner and outer limits of the planetary system. The distance of Mercury from the Sun is cited at 360 ,000,000 miles, while that of Pluto reveals an average distance of 3,667 ,000,000 miles. In various aspects of the system, we have seen this near 1: 100 ratio is maintained, not only in terms of distance, but in other relationships.
