The size of solid bodies does not include an object's atmosphere. For example, Titan looks bigger than Ganymede, but its solid body is smaller. For the giant planets , the "radius" is defined as the distance from the center at which the atmosphere reaches 1 bar of atmospheric pressure.
Use of NASA logos, insignia and emblems is restricted per U.S. law 14 CFR 1221.; The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the Soviet/Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies.

English: Saturn's size compared to Earth. Date: 23 July 2008: Source: ... Adjusted the size of the Moon to be exactly 25.27% the size of Earth. 13:22, 2 February 2025:
The average distance between Saturn and the Sun is over 1.4 billion kilometers (9 AU). With an average orbital speed of 9.68 km/s, [6] it takes Saturn 10,759 Earth days (or about 29 + 1 ⁄ 2 years) [86] to finish one revolution around the Sun. [6] As a consequence, it forms a near 5:2 mean-motion resonance with Jupiter. [87]
From the value of the diurnal parallax, one can determine the distance to the Sun from the geometry of Earth. [6] [7] The first known estimate of the solar mass was by Isaac Newton. [8] In his work Principia (1687), he estimated that the ratio of the mass of Earth to the Sun was about 1 ⁄ 28 700. Later he determined that his value was based ...
A Saturn return marks when the planet Saturn returns to the sign, and degree, it was in when you were born. This cycle takes anywhere between 27 and 30 years, and lasts for about three years.
The moons of the trans-Neptunian objects (other than Charon) have not been included, because they appear to follow the normal situation for TNOs rather than the moons of Saturn and Uranus, and become solid at a larger size (900–1000 km diameter, rather than 400 km as for the moons of Saturn and Uranus).
