<br />
In the "Comparative gravities" table, the Saturn row lists a fall velocity of '''170 km/h (110 mph)''' for a 100-metre free fall (g = 11.19 m/s²). The km/h value is correct:<br />
<br />
:<math>v = \sqrt{2 \times 11.19\ \text{m/s}^2 \times 100\ \text{m}} = \sqrt{2238} \approx 47.3\ \text{m/s} = 170.3\ \text{km/h}</math><br />
<br />
However, converting 170.3 km/h to mph:<br />
:<math>170.3\ \text{km/h} \div 1.60934\ \text{km/mi} \approx 105.8\ \text{mph} \approx 106\ \text{mph}</math><br />
<br />
not 110 mph as stated. For comparison, the adjacent Neptune row correctly gives 171 km/h (106 mph), consistent with its g = 11.28 m/s². The Saturn entry appears to have an error in the mph conversion: 170 km/h ≈ 106 mph, not 110 mph.
