'''Saturn''' is the second largest of the planets in our solar system, the sixth from the Sun, and the most distant that is visible to the naked eye. The ancients called [[Jupiter]] and Saturn “the great chronocrators,” or rulers of time, because the cycles of conjunctions between these two planets subdivide time into large units with observable political and economic cycles. | '''Saturn''' is the second largest of the planets in our solar system, the sixth from the Sun, and the most distant that is visible to the naked eye.
