Approximately how far is Saturn from Jupiter?

Answer 1

It varies since both orbit the sun at different rates.

One astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between the earth and sun. Jupiter is about 5 AU from the sun, while Saturn is about 10 AU. The distance between Jupiter and Saturn is 5 AU when they're both on the same side of the sun, and 15 AU when the sun is directly between them. The average distance would be sqr(5² + 10²) AU or about 11 AU.

Answer 2

Jupiter's orbit has a mean radius of 5.2 astronomical units, and Saturn's has a radius of 9.6 AUs.

So, if we assume circular orbits, the distance from one to the other varies from a minimum of 9.6-5.2 AYs to 9.6+5.2 AUs. That is 4.4 AUs to 14.8 AUs.

At their closest Saturn would be seen as a very bright object from Jupiter, while Jupiter would be invisible from Saturn as it would be in line with the Sun.

Answer 3

The distance between Saturn and Jupiter is 403,428,204 miles, or 649,254,760 kilometers. This is also known as 4.34 astronomical units (AU).

Answer 4

The distance from the sun of jupitar is 580power6 km and the distance from the sun of saturn is 14270power6 km

Answer 5

Saturn is over six times further from the sun than Mars.

Answer 6

On average, Saturn is about 400 million miles away from Jupiter, although the distance between them can vary as they orbit the Sun.
