Best Answer

If one was to fly directly to Saturn (not a more realistic orbital path) the distance ranges from 743 million miles to a bit more than 1 billion miles, depending on where earth and Saturn are in their respective elliptical orbits.

Using the average distance of about 875 million miles and dividing by 25,000 miles per hour we get 35,000 hours, which is 1458 days, which is about 3.99 years.

Although this trajectory and speed are not realistic, the Voyager 2 spacecraft took almost exactly 4 years to reach Saturn in 1977 - 1981.

What is the closest planet to Saturn and how far away is that planet compared to Saturn?

Probably Jupiter. Saturn's orbit is 900 million miles from the sun, compared to Earth at 93 million miles, Jupiter at 500 million miles, and Uranus (the 'next planet out') at over 1400 million miles. The distance from Earth to Saturn varies from around 800 to 980 million miles, so even "we" could be closer to Saturn than Uranus is. However, if Jupiter is on the opposite side of the Sun in it's orbit, any planet except Neptune or Pluto could be the 'closest' to Saturn, at that time, though still very far away.
