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.
Orbit and Rotation of Saturn. Saturnâs 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 29Â½ years), to revolve around the sun; a year on Saturn is equivalent to 29.5 Earth years. Saturn has an elliptical orbit and is inclined at 2.48Â°. The reason for Saturn not having a constant distance is it has an eccentricity of 0.056.
