Explanation / Answer
1).
Distance from earth to saturn = 1.2 billion km
Distance from earth to jupiter = 0.588 billion km
so earth to saturn disstance is 1.2/0.588 = 2.04 times the earth to jupiter distance
2)
True
the rings are made up of the brocken particles of the moon of the saturn and these rings are rotating at very high speeds and the spaces between the rings are not same some are closest and some are farthest so their study helps in knowing the nature of another planets rings
3) order of the size of the planets
Jupiter,
Saturn,
Uranus,
Neptune,
Earth,
Venus,
Mars,
Mercury.
saturn is the 2nd largest planet
a. second
4).
a. gas giant
It is a gas giant with an average radius 9 times that of Earth. It has a large volume of gases such as liguid and mettalic hydrogen and helium, gas giant planets are those planets which carry mainly hydrogen and helium.
5)
9.5
The equatorial diameter of Saturn is 120,536 km; that's about 9.5 times bigger than the diameter of the Earth.
