The average Earth-Saturn distance varies Between 8.36 AU and 10.36 AU, nearly. The average is Sun-Saturn distance 9.36 AU

Explanation:

The Earth-Sun distance is 1 AU. The average Saturn-Sun distance is 9.36 AU. The least distance might occur when Earth is in-between Sun and Saturn ( Sun - Earth - Saturn conjunction). The maximum might be when Sun is in-between Earth and Saturn (Earth - Sun - Saturn opposition). Simple questions like this help elucidate incredible information like "the mean distance of any inner planet from an outer planet is nearly the distance of the outer planet from the Sun".
