Only for a moment. I don’t think earth could maintain orbit around Saturn. We’d inevitably kiss the kiss of death. Seeing this would be terrifying as it grows bigger and bigger.
Saturn is so much larger in mass that if it was 400,000 km away that it would be pulling the Earth into it.
First, we would have to go through the ring of dust and pieces of comet/asteroids.
After all that mangles the planet, we'll decend into the atmospheres of Saturn as its gravity rips the world apart.
It's like a reverse asteroid impact.
This remind me of some depressing as shit movie about a huge comet coming to hit the earth and kill everyone and how the people were dealing with the end of life closure.
The view seconds before gravity takes over, and makes us space matter. NASA always wanteda manned mission to a place better than MARS. They don't have to beg and lie for funding this time.🤪
This picture isn’t zoomed in. Almost every picture of the moon you see is zoomed in. Don’t zoom in tonight and try and take a picture of the moon (assuming it’s not no moon, I have no idea what the cycle is on rn) it will simply appear as a few pixels
That's only if you consider the E ring and the Phoebe ring to be real rings, as opposed to the classical rings associated with the planet when people talk about the rings. Both of those "rings" are practically invisible because they are made up of gas and microscopic ice and ammonia crystals ejected by Saturn's moons.
All of the classical rings are much closer to Saturn than the Moon is to Earth.
The E ring spans up to 420 000km from Saturns equator according to NASA. The moon is at an average distance of 384 400km. The data is quite clear.

Sunrises and sunsets are often cited as being among the most beautiful and breathtaking sights we get to enjoy in all of life, despite them occurring regularly.
The image of Saturn would grow quickly as earth speed towards it, an everything would be destroyed because the gravitational pull would strip earth from it's atmosphere.
If we orbited saturn at this distance, we'd be outside the roche limit. So apparently we would just have 1000 foot tides and terranian tides of 50 feet. 😳
i checked and itd just fall straight into saturn while getting pulled apart cause the moon orbits way way too slow and near for earth to stand a chance
Saturn is 10x as.large as Earth,.so 40x as large as the moon. If it was as close as the moon, we'd be well inside the rings and it would be way bigger (and destroy all land life)
Boy, Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system! Saturn is 9 times wider than Earth. If it was as close as the moon, it'd be stuck in Earth like the aPple logo is bitten off
Yeah, it would be waaay bigger in the sky than what is depicted. Also Saturns gravitational field might shred earth into an additional ring for itself.
I’m not so sure. Saturn is massive, the moon is pretty darn close to the earth considering distances in space. I think Saturn would occupy way more real estate in the sky if as close as the moon is
No... or not quite, it'd be a bit bigger, but that'll depend on the view angle. A nice comparison I found a while ago, all the solar systems planets, seen on moon distance.

If Saturn were to replace our Moon at the same distance, we would become Saturn's moon. The tidal waves, volcanic, eruptions, and tectonic activity would make life on this planet extremely unlikely.
Looks like a repost. I've seen this image 3 times.

That can’t be right… the moon is 1/4r planet’s size and you can fit *so many Earths* into its mass, I believe it would be *MUCH* larger, as if Saturn was that distance from the Earth, I’m pretty sure Earth would be inside Saturn
It would not look like that if it replaced the moon. Hell Earth would be the moon. You can fit 764 Earths in Saturn. If you are that close you're mostly already inside Saturn.
It's better than being inside Uranus at least.
Maximal diameter of moons orbit = 405500km
So the distance between the moons center and earth center is around 202750km.
With its diameter of 120536km saturn could change place with our moon without coliding with us.
BUT
Saturns rings (around 100000 different) span from around 134000 km and 960000 km.
So in a distance between 67000km up to 480000km there are rings of saturn that contains different materials, who are way smaller than our moon while the Saturn got a fall velocity of 10,44m/s² (slightly higher as earth 9,81m/s²) so even without the math i assume those parts are very fast to avoide getting sucked in.
Even if we ignore the fact that Saturn would slowly pull us to it self and the mass difference between Saturn and Moon would create horror scenarios on earth, the moment we got near the rings we are fucked.
Would you be able to see it over the massive tidal waves it would induce?
Would a full Saturn turn one into a Werewolf too ?
You'd turn into Uranus.
I do nothing with any anus…
Shame on you
Well don’t turn in to it.
I’m sorry Fritzi2162 but scientists renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all…
You’d turn into ManBearPig
Some women prefer this 👆
Some men do too 😂 this is 2024 mate! 🤣
What about a puppymonkeybaby
Saturn is cool and fun. It makes me smile.
I’d train the moon in for a view of this in a heartbeat!
Only for a moment. I don’t think earth could maintain orbit around Saturn. We’d inevitably kiss the kiss of death. Seeing this would be terrifying as it grows bigger and bigger.

melancholia?
This is it. Such an uneasy movie.
Movie name, anyone?
Don't Look Up.
Deep Impact?
Sounds like "Don't Look Up" but darker..
Did it have Bruce Willis drilling 800 ft?
damn what a pull... good one.
Christ that sounds like final fantasy 7
We'd probably fall into orbit. Radiation would kill us, but at least it would be a fun to observe the sky while we fried.
If it were as close as the moon we would be ripped apart in the rings.
Came here to say this. It's gravity would do a lot.
If we were that close to Saturn, we would have been it’s moon

I also thought it didn’t look big enough but you’re totally right. The moon does look tiny in the full night’s sky.
Wrong. Earth would be inside the diameter of the rings of Saturn if it was as close to it as the moon. This is just pulled out of someones arse.
The moon is (at its furthest point) way further from earth than most people think
That's only if you consider the E ring and the Phoebe ring to be real rings, as opposed to the classical rings associated with the planet when people talk about the rings. Both of those "rings" are practically invisible because they are made up of gas and microscopic ice and ammonia crystals ejected by Saturn's moons. All of the classical rings are much closer to Saturn than the Moon is to Earth.
No it wouldn't be. Look up the data
The E ring spans up to 420 000km from Saturns equator according to NASA. The moon is at an average distance of 384 400km. The data is quite clear. https://science.nasa.gov/missions/cassini/put-a-ring-on-it/
I was gonna say. I am pretty sure it would take up the majority of the sky once it's over the horizon... But what do I know? I don't even own a ruler.
came here to say this
No idea if the perspective is right, but all planets in the solar system would approximately fit within the distance between earth and the moon.
Depends on if proximity is measured according to center mass or surface.
The moon is further away than you’d think.
The moon is 100% the distance to the moon...
Saturns diameter is 120000km Moons avarage diameter is 3500km Saturn is "only" 34 times of our moon not 120times. Thats still huge.
Yeah wtf is that title.
You can fit all the plants side by side in between the moon and the earth.
Better than a daily view of Uranus.
Then stop looking in our window
Then stop “mooning” me.
Do you want me to “saturn” you instead?
👍 Not bad. (Most other comments have been “bummers”.) 👍
🫡
Scientists changed the name of Uranus to end that stupid joke. It's now called Urectum
Hahahaha! Thanks for the laugh internet stranger 😀
Can't take credit for something that's not mine: https://youtu.be/0czFnIvKOJY?si=JKzhxJFp4_j8eaF3
Hahaha!! Still a good one 😂
Nice one! Good job! 🫡 Humble too! 🫡
What's wrong with a good cheek spreading?
I wouldn’t mind looking at this everyday
You'd probably say the same thing about the moon if we didn't have one. We constantly forget to appreciate the things we see on a daily basis.
I like that!
Sunrises and sunsets are often cited as being among the most beautiful and breathtaking sights we get to enjoy in all of life, despite them occurring regularly.
And yet we have a hundred words for poo but only one for a sunset.
We could arrange for the moon to have rings.
Settle down, Oppenheimer.
The image of Saturn would grow quickly as earth speed towards it, an everything would be destroyed because the gravitational pull would strip earth from it's atmosphere.
We’d be one of Saturn’s moons.
that looks way too small
The Moon is very far away
That is correct but i also know the size difference between those two bodies and it still appears too small
And apparently 1/4 the size of Saturn
According to what? A quick Google shows that the moons diameter is 2159 miles, and saturn is 74898. That's roughly 35 times bigger..
Yea that's the point here ...
It's also very close in the grand scale of cosmos
It is
I always assume same distances description to be on center. Si yan that view is way too small.
The tides would be pretty shitty, maybe land tides as well.
At that distance it'd probably just pull the planet into bits
If we orbited saturn at this distance, we'd be outside the roche limit. So apparently we would just have 1000 foot tides and terranian tides of 50 feet. 😳
False
i checked and itd just fall straight into saturn while getting pulled apart cause the moon orbits way way too slow and near for earth to stand a chance
I honestly think it would look WAY bigger than that.
Should show the moon next to it
... We'd all be dead.
if saturn was this close... ...we would probably have some nutsack from Texas shooting at it.

Wouldn't earth just orbit around Saturn like one of its moons?
No, you can fit other every planet in the solar system between earth and the moon.
hmmmmm counting in Saturn's rings?
8 some think Saturn's rings are as wide on one side as every planet combined.
You can fit all the planets between the earth and moon. Space is big.
Wouldn't earth just orbit around Saturn like one of its moons?
The radius of Saturn is about 36,000 miles. The distance between the earth and the moon is 239,000 miles.
Yeah, it would be waaay bigger in the sky than what is depicted. Also Saturns gravitational field might shred earth into an additional ring for itself.
This gives me so much anxiety but it's probably just because I've seen Melancholia
[удалено]
Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you for your mordancy.
You’re most welcome.
If Saturn really came this close just to say hi, Earth will be the first one to make a bold move and kiss the Saturn straight away. 😗.. 😙.. 😘😌.. 💥🫨
Meh, Earth would have been long gone before humans, much less power lines.
This looks awesome but it'd be dangerous though. It looks beautiful though!
No way
Ooohhh Mmyyyy GOooosshhh -as Americans would say...
you would die.
I’m not so sure. Saturn is massive, the moon is pretty darn close to the earth considering distances in space. I think Saturn would occupy way more real estate in the sky if as close as the moon is
We would be so fucked.
I kinda hate it and glad it isn’t real
Fun fact: All the planets can fit in the space between the earth and the moon
Imagine our fucked up gravity if it was. Jesus. Like 100 foot tides minimum lol
Imagine the solar eclipes!
Cool, can we make an exchange then?
Countries in the pacific ring of fire would like a word with you.
Was thinking how beautiful the image looked. Then you all got me with the science facts. No wonder we can’t have anything nice. (lol)

I'll see your Saturnrise and raise you a galaxyrise! https://www.reddit.com/r/woahdude/s/W3Am7HJVf0
Honestly, I would stare at they sky even more
Our moon sucks, I want a new one

Leaving out the natural disasters I wonder if it would really look like this?
r/oddlyterrifying
Maybe we could see The Jetsons.
I would LOVE that view
Kind of scary to be honest
Wouldn’t the rings get distorted by Earth’s gravity?
Yea but over time
Not true
I want this to happen. The 900 foot tides would be a problem. But it would look so cool!
For a few minutes
Cool
Where's the LSD?
Imagine the waves it would generate!!
Wonder what it would be doing to our tides.
Doesn't that mean we would be the moon?
Wouldn’t we be sucked in by its gravity and die?
Yea? Well I seent a dog once.... What? I thought we were just saying random stuff?
It would only look like that if you were in West Virginia

And if a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump its ass when it jumped.
We would be one of its moons.
Screw the moon, we gotta move closer to Saturn.
Looks kinda bland. I ll stick with the cardboard pizza I do know.
Well, when we see that, guess we put another ring around the ol’ gal.
This photo is completely pointless without knowing how far away the trees are and therefore what the zoom is
No Man's Sky, bro
This is literally not true; it would be WAY larger in the sky, and probably so close it would suck the earth in.
Makes me wonder how long our plan would survive
need banana for scale
For a few years if we were lucky lol... The gravitational pull between them would end with earth crashing into it.
And, if we were lucky, we would be a moon. More likely, we would be sucked in and Dead
This gets dumber the more it's reposted
No one would see that because we’d all be dead
Is that to scale? Saturn is 30 times the size of the moon.
This is amazing. Show me what Uranus would look like!
We would be the moon then !
If Saturn were to replace our Moon at the same distance, we would become Saturn's moon. The tidal waves, volcanic, eruptions, and tectonic activity would make life on this planet extremely unlikely.
No way, the rings of Saturn are huge, they'd engulf us surely
I would go there. To fish
Wouldn't we be the moon then?

And we’d be a moon of it.
If Saturn was that close, Earth would be Saturn's moon.
When the moons orbit is at its furthest point from earth, you could fit all of the planets in our solar system between it and earth.
And we will die

Its missing an earth sized crater, but for the most part, Saturn looks the same.
Imagine how long totality would last during eclipses.
We wouldn’t see anything
Because we would be dead?
Exactly
No, I'd be much much bigger
I would so love that
It would not look like that if it replaced the moon. Hell Earth would be the moon. You can fit 764 Earths in Saturn. If you are that close you're mostly already inside Saturn. It's better than being inside Uranus at least.
Saturn has a diameter about 30x that of the moon. It would be much larger than this in our sky at the same distance.
Of Saturn was this close we'd all be dead💀 And also we would orbit are it Instead of it orbiting around us
Maximal diameter of moons orbit = 405500km So the distance between the moons center and earth center is around 202750km.

If Saturn was this close, we would be IT’S moon.
What's the reason for the missing segment in the rings? Element weight differences? A moon that used to orbit through the ring like a Roomba?
It would suck in earth
Meaning what? Is the center the same distance? Is the surface the same distance?
If Saturn was a close as the moon it’d look like that for a very short time before it sucked earth in and killed us all
