    Semi-major axis. 1,433.53 million km (9.5826 AU) Eccentricity: ... Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter.

  3. Gallic group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallic_group

    The X-axis is labeled in terms of Saturn's Hill radius. The Gallic group is a dynamical grouping of the prograde irregular satellites of Saturn following similar orbits. Their semi-major axes range between 16 and 19 Gm, their inclinations between 36° and 41°, and their eccentricities between 0.46 and 0.53.

    Two prograde moons of Saturn do not definitively belong to either the Inuit or Gallic groups. [1] S/2004 S 24 and S/2006 S 12 have similar orbital inclinations as the Gallic group, but have much more distant orbits with semi-major axes of ~400 Saturn radii and ~340 Saturn radii, respectively.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fornjot_(moon)

    Fornjot / ˈ f ɔːr n j oʊ t / or Saturn XLII is the outermost named moon of Saturn. Its discovery was announced by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, Jan Kleyna, and Brian G. Marsden on 4 May 2005 from observations taken between 12 December 2004, and 11 March 2005. It had the largest semi-major axis among all the known moons of Saturn [3]

  9. Semi-major and semi-minor axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_and_semi-minor_axes

    The semi-major axis (major semiaxis) is the longest semidiameter or one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus, and to the perimeter. The semi-minor axis (minor semiaxis) of an ellipse or hyperbola is a line segment that is at right angles with the semi-major axis and has one end at the center of the conic section.
