Poland Table of Contents. During the reign of Empress Catherine the Great (1762-96), Russia intensified its manipulation in Polish affairs. Prussia and Austria, the other powers surrounding the republic, also took advantage of internal religious and political bickering to divide up the country in three partition stages. The third partition in 1795 wiped Poland-Lithuania from the map of Europe.
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.
Astronomers use another measurement tool for calculating distance in the Solar System called âastronomical unitsâ. 1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun; approximately 150 million km. At its closest point, Saturn is 9 AU, and then at its most distant point, itâs 10.1 AU. Saturnâs average distance from the Sun is 9.6 AU. We have written many articles about Saturn for Universe Today.
