Saturn is approximately 1.43 billion kilometers (about 886-887 million miles) away from the Sun on average. This distance corresponds to about 9.5 astronomical units (AU), where 1 AU is the average distance from Earth to the Sun (~150 million km)
. Because Saturn's orbit is elliptical, its distance from the Sun varies:
- At perihelion (closest point), Saturn is about 1.35 billion kilometers (9.05 AU) from the Sun.
- At aphelion (farthest point), it is about 1.52 billion kilometers (10.12 AU) away
In summary, Saturn orbits the Sun at an average distance of roughly 1.43 billion km (9.5 AU), with its distance fluctuating between about 1.35 and 1.52 billion km due to its elliptical orbit.
