See Saturn on the map

Across the equator

120,536 km

Average distance from the Sun

9.537 AU (about 1,427 million km)

One trip round the Sun

29.5 Earth years

One spin on its axis

10 hours 33 minutes. Its rings are mostly water ice.

Moons

many known; the largest is Titan

Equatorial diameters (the same values the map draws) and spin: NASA NSSDC planetary fact sheets (https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/). Mean distance from the Sun: JPL Approximate Positions of the Planets, Table 1, and the JPL Small-Body Database for Ceres and Pluto. Year length is computed from the distance with Kepler's third law (years = distance in AU to the power 1.5).
