So what you are saying is that this angle and thus the opposite arc corresponds to the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun, when the angle of the whole circle and thus the perimeter of the circle corresponds to the mean distance between Saturn and the Sun?

360/37.58 = 9.57956

Semimajor axis Ratio (Saturn/Earth) = 9.582

mean circle radius = 116.065 meters

Saturn mean volumetric diameter = 116,464 km

We can then compute the king-subterranean arc:

116.065 m x 2 x pi x 37.58/360 = 76.127 m

Hm,...
what's Jupiter doing there?
