Saturn is 9 AU from the Sun, or 8-10 AU from the Earth, depending on the relative positions in the two orbits.
Mercury: 0.387 AU Venus: 0.723 AU Earth: 1.000 AU Mars: 1.524 AU Jupiter: 5.204 AU Saturn: 9.582 AU Uranus: 19.229 AU Neptune: 30.104 AU
Saturn is far bigger than Mercury, having 24 times the surface area of Mercury. Saturn-120,034 km Mercury-4,880 km
Mercury: 0.39 AU Venus: 0.72 AU Earth: 1.00 AU Mars: 1.52 AU Jupiter: 5.20 AU Saturn: 9.58 AU Uranus: 19.22 AU Neptune: 30.05 AU
0.387 is the average distance from the Sun to Mercury in AU. Note: AU=astronomical unit
Mars is the closest. Mars orbital period is 687 days. Earth, as we all know, is 365 days. The next planet out, Jupiter, revolves around the Sun in 12 years. Saturn for information takes almost 30 years. Saturn
Saturn is 9 AU from the Sun, or 8-10 AU from the Earth, depending on the relative positions in the two orbits.
Earth is 1 AU from the sun. Saturn is 9.5 AU from the sun. The sun is always closer to the earth than Saturn. When the earth and Saturn are on the same side of the sun, the difference between them is 8.5 AU. When they are on opposite sides, the distance is 10.5 AU. Saturn always ranges from 8.5 to 10.5 AU from the earth, whereas the sun is never more than 1 AU away.
Mercury is 0.5167 AU from Earth. AU stands for astronomical unit. Mercury is 48,000,000 miles from Earth at its closest approach.
Saturn is 1.2 billion km (about 7 AU) from the Earth when the two planets are at their closest.

Earth is 1 AU from the Sun. There is no planet at an orbit of 2.5 AU. (Mars orbits at 1.5 AU and Jupiter at 5.2 AU).
Mercury: 0.39 AU Venus: 0.72 AU Earth: 1.00 AU Mars: 1.52 AU Jupiter: 5.20 AU Saturn: 9.58 AU Uranus: 19.22 AU Neptune: 30.05 AU
Saturn and Mercury are 1,375,000,000 kilometers apart. Mercury is much closer to the sun than Saturn is to the sun. The planet Earth is the third closest planet to the sun.
1 Astronomical Unit (1.00 AU) is the mean distance between Earth and the sun. 1 AU is approximately equal to 149,600,000 km Saturn's maximum distance from the sun is 10.044 AU.
5.2 AU, that is five and one-fifth times as far as the Earth. Saturn is 9.5 AU, Uranus 19 AU and Neptune 29 AU.
