      Cool question! First of all, since Saturn is much bigger than Earth, it has a stronger gravity than Earth, which could make our muscles & bones uncomfortable over time, since our bodies have evolved to be on Earth. Second of all, Saturn’s average temperature is -178 degrees Celsius, so it’d get pretty chilly over there! Last of all, Saturn is a big ball of gas, so there’d wouldn’t actually be a solid surface for our feet to land on…probably a good thing given the gravity & extreme cold…
