Image of Saturn - 1 sec. exposure at f/10 prime focus with 2x Barlow
Saturn is 120,736 km diameter and 18.82 times the size of the Earth.
It's gravity is 1.07 times that of Earth's gravity. Saturn has a density
less than that of water. If you had an ocean large enough, you
could float the entire planet in it!
