What a Saturn year means
Saturn takes almost 30 Earth years per orbit, which means its rings tilt edge-on to us about every 15 years and almost vanish from small telescopes. The last time was 2025.

The farther out a world orbits, the longer its year, and not just because the path is longer: the Sun's pull is weaker out there, so the outer planets also move more slowly. In the interactive view, speed up time and watch the inner planets lap the outer ones.
