How hot is it on the planet Saturn?

The tilt of Saturn's axis causes the sun to heat the planet's northern and southern halves unequally, resulting in seasons and temperature changes. Each season lasts about 7 1/2 Earth years, because Saturn takes about 29 times as long to go around the sun as Earth does. Saturn's temperature is always much colder than Earth's, because Saturn is so far from the sun. The temperature at the top of Saturn's clouds averages -285 degrees F (-175 degrees C).

The temperatures below Saturn's clouds are much higher than those at the top of the clouds. The planet gives off about 2 1/2 times as much heat as it receives from the sun. Many astronomers believe that much of Saturn's internal heat comes from energy generated
