The distance from Saturn to the Sun varies depending on where Saturn is in its orbit.

* Average distance: Saturn's average distance from the Sun is about 1.43 billion kilometers (886 million miles).

* Perihelion (closest): At its closest point to the Sun (perihelion), Saturn is about 1.35 billion kilometers (839 million miles) away.

* Aphelion (farthest): At its farthest point from the Sun (aphelion), Saturn is about 1.51 billion kilometers (938 million miles) away.

So, it's helpful to remember that Saturn's distance from the Sun is not fixed, but rather changes as it orbits our star.
