Temperature estimation of Saturn
First check how much the temperature of saturn changes due to maximum and minimum distance from sun.
The fractional change in temperature is ie.
In [1]:
1.0573660972166758
Which means, the temperature can change by up to 6% between appoge and perigee of Saturn from Sun. This seems to be just within the error bars of various temperature estimates.
