Minimum 40x to 60x will help to see the planet as a small disc with Its Galilean moons like stars. 80x to 120x will help to see the planet medium with Its red spot & moons. 150x to 170x will help to ravel Its details. But minimum magnification is good for beginner or you can join a astronomy club to ensure the numbers as I've given. :)
The amount of magnification depends on the focal length of the eyepiece.
Forget it. Saturn is in a deep pit of gravity.
It depends on what the specimen is. If for example - the specimen is a person's finger-print, then low magnification is sufficient. However - if the specimen is a sample of blood, a higher magnification would be needed to show individual blood cells.
not to be a gas giant or have a hydrogen, helium surface
200 thousand gallons of fuel
As the magnification increases, more light is needed. This is because the size of the hole of the lens is smaller.
The amount of magnification depends on the focal length of the eyepiece.
The amount of light needed increases as one moves to higher magnification with the microscope. This is usually done by opening the light diaphragm.
You need something transparent, convex and solid
Forget it. Saturn is in a deep pit of gravity.
The total magnification is equal to the magnification of the eyepiece multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens. So in this case the objective lens would need to be 100X.

Jupiter is visible to the naked eye and has been known for thousands of years. So no satellite was needed to find Jupiter.
3x magnification is a good start, but you really must have a lighted mirror, otherwise it could be a tedious exercise.

Because a telescope is not needed to see Jupiter from Earth, ancient astronomers were aware of its existence.
