Saturn

Click here to go back to the Solar System The equatorial diameter of Saturn is 120,537 Km. I wrote equatorial diameter because Saturn spins so rapidly that it’s significantly flattened. The poles are about 5,904 Km closer to the centre of Saturn than points on the equator, and you can tell that Saturn look squashed in pictures. In terms of volume you could fit 763 planets the size of Earth inside of Saturn and still have room left. The surface area of Saturn is 83.7 times bigger than Earth.

The mass of Saturn is more massive than Earth. In fact it is 95 times more massive than Earth and only 30% the mass of Jupiter.
