An amateur astronomer views Saturn through her small telescope for several weeks. She is also able to see Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. With some patience, she determines that Titan’s orbital period about Saturn is 383 hours. Also, using the known diameter of Saturn as a gauge, she measures that Titan orbits at 1.22x109 m from the center of Saturn. Using these simple measurements, calculate the mass of Saturn.
