Question
Websites report that Saturn's diameter is 119,871 km, Does this area include the rings too?
This is easy to look up in almost any astronomy book or internet site. You will find that Saturn's diameter (without rings) is approximately 120,000 km, essentially the same as the value you quote (note also that this is a diameter, not an area). David Morrison
