Um, the Moon is 384,400 km from Earth. The outer edge of E Ring from Saturn's center is 480,000 km. So we would be INSIDE the rings, would we not? Please explain if I am reading something wrong.
It presumes the outer edge of the largest ring would be at the same distance as our Moon, rather than the planet itself. It's still idiotically wrong, however. I made a post containing a more accurate version.
I meant that it would have some weird / interesting effects on earth. Just look at what our wee moon does to the oceans ito tides :)
(What I’ve seen says its gravity varies from a bit less to a bit more than ours depending on proximity to poles / equator, but my point was the above :))
Saturn is roughly 75,000 miles in diameter while the moon is a little over 2000 miles, meaning that Saturn is around 3750% bigger than the moon. I could be wrong, but I think it would look bigger than it does in this picture if it were where the moon is now.
I get the thought of having to look clearly at the planets just like that when I am watching my favorite space opera movies. I am always transported to else worlds and I love it, even if its just for a moment

Given its gravity well, erm :P
