Uranus current distance

The most distant of the planets obviously visible to the naked eye, Saturn is the sixth planet in the solar system. Because it travels in an elliptical path rather than a circular one, it doesn't always lie the same distance from the sun as it wanders through the sky.

How far is Saturn from Earth?

The distance to Saturn from our planet is constantly changing as both of the planets travel through space.

When the two are closest, they lie approximately 746 million miles (1.2 billion kilometers) apart, or eight times the distance between the Earth and the sun.

What is saturn made of

At their most distant, when they lie on opposite sides of the sun from one another, they are just over a billion miles (1.7 billion km) apart, or 11 times the distance between the Earth and the sun.

Traveling through space at more than 21,000 mph (34,000 kph), Saturn takes 29.5 Earth years to make a single orbit around the sun.

Earth overtakes the gas giant in its rotation just under once a year, causing Saturn to appear to move backwards in the night sky as our planet zips by it. This retrograde
