How long does it take to send a probe to Saturn?
In the past spacecraft have taken greatly different amounts of time to make it to Saturn. Pioneer 11 took six and a half years to arrive. Voyager 1 took three years and two months, Voyager 2 took four years, and the Cassini spacecraft took six years and nine months to arrive.
How long would it take to travel to the planet Saturn?
How Long Does it Take a Spaceship to Travel to Saturn? The fastest spaceship journey to date took around three years and two months to travel from Earth to Saturn.

How far is Saturn from the probe?
The distance to Saturn from our planet is constantly changing as both of the planets travel through space. When the two are closest, they lie approximately 746 million miles (1.2 billion kilometers) apart, or eight times the distance between the Earth and the sun.
How long would it take to fly to Titan?
When will the mission launch how long will it take to get to Titan? This mission would last about 14 years. It would take roughly seven years to get there, and then the same to get back, though well-timed gravity-assists either on the way there or back could reduce the total flight time to just 10 years.
Is there any land on Saturn?
Surface. As a gas giant, Saturn doesn’t have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids deeper down. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Saturn, it wouldn’t be able to fly through unscathed either.
How big is Earth compared to the Moon?
The moon is a bit more than one-fourth (27 percent) the size of Earth, a much larger ratio (1:4) than any other planets and their moons. Earth’s moon is the fifth largest moon in the solar system.
