Semi-protected edit request on 8 October 2024
Script error: No such module "protected edit request". Location: infobox, header: atmosphere.
On page 9 of the given source 26, Saturn's _Surface Pressure_ is estimated at over 1.000 bar (which would be over 100.000 kPa), and it's _Atmospheric Pressure_ is at 140 kPa. Therefor the following suggestion: change surface pressure from "140 kPa" to "over 100.000 kPa", and add a new parameter called "atmospheric pressure" with the value "140 kPa". Current source is ok for both parameters.

- I am now wondering what the infobox as it stands actually means, since Saturn has no definite surface. Double sharp (talk) 09:52, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Well, it doesn't have a definitive surface for what we can measure. But all planets need to have a core, which is a surface (liquid or semi-liquid in most cases is the assumption here aswell, but it's a surface). This is why the estimated surface pressure is over a thousand kPa by NASA definitions, which I think is fair.
- So, does it have a surface? Yes for sure.
- Where is that surface? We don't know. Therefor we can't measure the surface pressure (yet)
- Tvos01 (talk) 09:58, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Partly done I changed the surface pressure to the one stated in the source, but there is no parameter for surface pressure. I suggest you make an edit request on Template talk:Infobox planet, and then make another edit request here Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 09:11, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
Angular Diameter
In the quick info box, at the end the angular size of Saturn is indicated in Arc Minutes ('), the correct way would be in Arc Seconds ("). Simply, if Saturn would be up to 20 arc minutes in angular diameter, it would be two thirds the size of the Sun.

- File:Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 15:21, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
273 or 274 moons
NASA/JPL lists 273 moons, while other sources claim there's 274. What's missing from NASA list? Agra (talk) 20:18, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- NASA updated the number. Nevermind. Agra (talk) 09:40, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Relevance of "In science fiction" section?
I'm not opposed to a section like this in general, but what is the relevance of the content of the current section? It mentions only one film, Interstellar, and while I don't doubt that Saturn appears in that film, the whole thing is entirely unsourced. I also don't recall Saturn being particularly relevant for the film i.e. would anything change if the film or parts of it took place near Jupiter or Uranus instead? If so, we need sources to actually state that Saturn is relevant in the context of the film. Cortador (talk) 13:26, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- I rewrote the section since nobody came up for a reason why Interstellar alone should be in that section specifically. Cortador (talk) 14:40, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
