In a word - yes\n\nAll the planets affect each other, although not always in major ways. The solar system can be considered as a two body system (the sun and Jupiter) with perturbations (all the other planets).\n\nFor an example of this, look at the precession of the perehelion of Mercury. General Relativity accounts for a tiny amount of that, but the rest is from the effects of the other bodies in the solar system.

Conjunctions between Mars and Saturn occur once every two years.  The last one was on May 23, 2004. If the conjunction occurs when Mars is retrograde, a triple conjunction can take place within a period of a few weeks.\n\nAfter the upcoming M-S conjunction on June 17, the next three will occur on July 8, 2008; July 30, 2010; and August 14, 2012.

Saturn.\n\nJust kidding.  It's Jupiter.

Off the top of my head: both are "gas giant" planets, but Jupiter is WAY bigger. Jupiter has a ton of satellite moons orbiting around it. Saturn has that weird-ass ring going around it which they just discovered is not a ring but more a like a spiral. Jupiter has this storm that never ends, that looks like a spot. Imagine a hurricane that never ended on Earth. Also Saturn has a heavy core for some reason. You could probably land on Saturn, but not in Jupiter. I wonder what it looks like when you land there.

Come on Gabbu, do you really belive in kind of stories like this? Saturn is millions of miles away from earth. Its a large gaseous giant and man cannot land on this planet. Besides, from a space ship, close to saturn, earth will be barely visible. The sun would also be small dot shapped star, slightly larger than the other stars we see here.\n\nNeither the gravitational pull of any other properties of Saturn has any effect on earth. Do not believe in all these things that the astrologers tell you. Earlier they used to say that if one looks at saturn, an evil eye will befall on the person and misfortune will follow. Since the invention of a telescope, nearly 400 years ago, millions of folks have see saturn through the telescope. I have myself shown Saturn to thousands of folks around. No misfortune took place to all these people.\n\nThese astrologers need your money, they try to proove that they know a lot and hence spin such yarns. Only to fill their pockets with your hard earned money.\n\nSaturn cannot have any effect on your life or any other human being on earth.

Saturn's temperature ranges from -139 C at the cloudtops to 11,700 C at the core.  So the answer is yes, depending on where you are.

No.  \nHere is why: Although the list of known extra-solar planets is growing, to my knowledge, none have been described where there are two in the same orbit.  In terms of solar planets (ie us) although it is true that two planets in our solar system cross orbits, this is not 'sharing' the same orbit (at least in the sense of your question I think).  It seems possible enough, but has not yet been described.

Yes. Pluto has an eliptic orbit (not perfectly circular) which means that sometimes it will be closer to the sun than Uranus and therefore the 8th.

The Scientists don't know yet, so if they don't know we don't know. We can only guess to what it is.\n\n\nScientists said it was unclear whether Saturn's storm was a water-driven system.\n\nIt differs from Earth hurricanes in part because it remains stuck at the pole rather than drifting as such storms do on this planet and because it did not form over a liquid water ocean, with Saturn being a gaseous planet, NASA said.\n\n"It looks like a hurricane, but it doesn't behave like a hurricane," Andrew Ingersoll, a member of Cassini's imaging team at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, said in a statement. "Whatever it is, we're going to focus on the eye of this storm and find out why it's there."\n\nFlasar said scientists have more work ahead to understand the Saturn storm.\n\n"I'm hoping that as we puzzle over it, it will become even more exciting as we start to connect the dots in our brains. But right now, the wheels are a little creaky," Flasar said. "We're all arguing with each other about what it might or might not be."

Well, you would need a floating home equiped with oxygen, heat, and self-replenishing food/water. Since Saturn is a gas giant planet, there is no solid surface to stand on, just a steadily thickening atmoshere of hydrogen, helium, and methane that gradually turns to compressed liquid that is the only thing you see until the planet's small, molten core, approximately 30,000 miles below the cloud tops. Living on Saturn is not worth the trouble, the risk, etc, though it would be a very interesting scientific endeavor.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. It is a gas giant (also known as a Jovian planet, after the planet Jupiter), the second-largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter. Saturn has a prominent system of rings, consisting mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. It was named after the Roman god Saturn. Its symbol is a stylized representation of the god's sickle.\n\nSaturn is an oblate spheroid. It is flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator; its equatorial and polar diameters vary by almost 10% (120,536 km vs. 108,728 km). This is the result of its rapid rotation and fluid state. The other gas planets are also oblate, but to a lesser degree. Saturn is the only one of the Solar System's planets less dense than water, with an average specific density of 0.69. This is a mean value; Saturn's upper atmosphere is less dense and its core is considerably more dense than water.\n\nSaturn's interior is similar to Jupiter's, having a rocky core at the center, a liquid metallic hydrogen layer above that, and a molecular hydrogen layer above that. Traces of various ices are also present. Saturn has a very hot interior, reaching 12,000 Kelvin at the core, and it radiates more energy into space than it receives from the Sun. Most of the extra energy is generated by the Kelvin-Helmholtz mechanism (slow gravitational compression), but this alone may not be sufficient to explain Saturn's heat production. An additional proposed mechanism by which Saturn may generate some of its heat is the "raining out" of droplets of helium deep in Saturn's interior, the droplets of helium releasing heat by friction as they fall down through the lighter hydrogen.\n\nSaturn's atmosphere exhibits a banded pattern similar to Jupiter's (in fact, the nomenclature is the same), but Saturn's bands are much fainter and are also much wider near the equator. Saturn's winds are among the Solar System's fastest; Voyager data indicates peak easterly winds of 500 m/s (1116 mph)Solarviews. Saturn's finer cloud patterns were not observed until the Voyager flybys. Since then, however, Earth-based telescopy has improved to the point where regular observations can be made.\n\nSaturn's usually-bland atmosphere occasionally exhibits long-lived ovals and other features common on Jupiter; in 1990 the Hubble Space Telescope observed an enormous white cloud near Saturn's equator which was not present during the Voyager encounters and in 1994 another, smaller storm was observed. The 1990 storm was an example of a Great White Spot, a unique but short-lived Saturnian phenomenon with a roughly 30-year periodicity. Previous Great White Spots were observed in 1876, 1903, 1933, and 1960, with the 1933 storm being the most famous. The careful study of these episodes reveals interesting patterns; if it holds another storm will occur in about 2020.(Kidger 1992)\n\nAstronomers using infrared imaging have shown that Saturn has a warm polar vortex, and is the only planet in the solar system known to do so.\n\nAn apparently permanent hexagonal wave pattern around the polar vortex in the atmosphere at about 78°N was first noted in the Voyager images. HST imaging of the south polar region indicates the presence of a jet stream, but no strong polar vortex nor any hexagonal standing wave.\n\nSince Saturn does not rotate on its axis at a uniform rate, two rotation periods have been assigned to it (as in Jupiter's case): System I has a period of 10 h 14 min 00 s (844.3°/d) and encompasses the Equatorial Zone, which extends from the northern edge of the South Equatorial Belt to the southern edge of the North Equatorial Belt. All other Saturnian latitudes have been assigned a rotation period of 10 h 39 min 24 s (810.76°/d), which is System II. System III, based on radio emissions from the planet, has a period of 10 h 39 min 22.4 s (810.8°/d); because it is very close to System II, it

Not a satellite, since that's something that is in an established orbit, but a space probe, yes.  There's one on the way at the moment.  At full speed, it'll be the fastest traveling manmade object ever, but even at that sort of speed it'll take nine years to get there.

Check the first link for the pics.\n\nSaturn's equator is tilted relative to its orbit by 27 degrees, very similar to the 23-degree tilt of the Earth. As Saturn moves along its orbit, first one hemisphere, then the other is tilted towards the Sun. This cyclical change causes seasons on Saturn, just as the changing orientation of Earth's tilt causes seasons on our planet. The first image in this sequence, on the lower left, was taken soon after the autumnal equinox in Saturn's Northern Hemisphere (which is the same as the spring equinox in its Southern Hemisphere). By the final image in the sequence, on the upper right, the tilt is nearing its extreme, or winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere).\n\nAstronomers are studying this set of images to investigate the detailed variations in the color and brightness of the rings. They hope to learn more about the rings' composition, how they were formed, and how long they might last. Saturn's rings are incredibly thin, with a thickness of only about 30 feet (10 meters). The rings are made of dusty water ice, in the form of boulder-sized and smaller chunks that gently collide with each other as they orbit around Saturn. Saturn's gravitational field constantly disrupts these ice chunks, keeping them spread out and preventing them from combining to form a moon. The rings, as shown here, have a slight pale reddish color due to the presence of organic material mixed with the water ice.\n\nSaturn is about 75,000 miles (120,000 km) across, and is flattened at the poles because of its very rapid rotation. A day is only 10 hours long on Saturn. Strong winds account for the horizontal bands in the atmosphere of this giant gas planet. The delicate color variations in the clouds are due to smog in the upper atmosphere, produced when ultraviolet radiation from the Sun shines on methane gas. Deeper in the atmosphere, the visible clouds and gases merge gradually into hotter and denser gases, with no solid surface for visiting spacecraft to land on. \n\n\nThe second link tells you something about Saturn\n\nst

About the same location it is now.  Yes the sun is orbiting the galactic center, but so is everything around us.  Our radial distance will not change dramatically in such a short period of time, and our motion within the solar neighborhood really is not that great either.\n\nSo in short, right here.\n\nOh, and you are reading way to much into the turn-over of the Mayan long count callender.  That date has more to do with thier counting system than anything else.

The particles that make up the rings of Saturn don’t get pulled down to the planet because they orbit the planet.  They remain in orbit for the same reason the Moon or the Space Shuttle remain in orbit around Earth.  In fact, you can think of them as billions of tiny “moonlets”:  they don’t sit still but instead revolve around the planet in predictable (although often complicated) orbits.\n\nAny orbit is a balance between gravity and the motion of the orbiting body.  Objects close to the parent body must orbit more quickly to counteract the stronger pull of gravity—for example, Mercury moves faster in its orbit around the Sun than Earth does—but any orbit constitutes an equilibrium between gravity and momentum.\n\nThat said, Saturn’s rings represent a complicated example of this kind of equilibrium.  Not only does one have to consider the gravitational attraction of Saturn itself, but also of its major moons (Titan, for exampl) and all the aforementioned “moonlets” spinning around the planet.  The results are often surprising:  we see “shepherd” moons that keep rings herded in place, strange propeller-like structures, and even braided rings!  (Links below to some images of these oddities.)\n\nBut the short answer to your question is that the rings, made up of billions of particles, remain constantly in motion, counteracting the pull of gravity.\n\n\nRyan Wyatt\nRose Center for Earth & Space

Cassini itself did not land. However, it was carrying the probe Huygens, which landed on Titan.
