 Saturn’s distance from the sun is 1.4 billion km, the exact number is 1,433,449,370 km.  It is 891 million miles away.  Saturn is actually following a elliptical orbit around the sun.

o It is impossible to know the temperature on Saturn. o As you travel down into the planet temperatures and pressures rise. o It actually generates heat. o It puts out 2.5 times as much energy as the sun receives.

 The rotation of the magnetic field takes 10 hours and 39 minutes to complete a rotation.  The rotation of the planet can change over time.  For regions from the equator it takes 10 hours and 14 minutes.
