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.
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.aturn's winds are among the Solar System's fastest. Voyager data indicate peak easterly winds of 500 m/s (1800 km/h) 1 Temperature profile of Saturn's atmosphere: Saturn's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbit by 27 o, similar to the Earth's.
