Technically, since Saturn is a jovial planet, the "crust" is actually gas. The gas gets pretty deep, about 1,000,000,000km deep! Sorry if I'm a bit off.

Saturn is a gas giant and does not have a solid surface or a crust like terrestrial planets such as Earth. Its structure consists of layers of gas, liquid metallic hydrogen, and a rocky core, with no distinct solid surface.
Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, and it is the second largest moon in our solar system. It is known for its thick atmosphere and methane lakes.
Yes, the continental crust is generally more than 5 times thicker than oceanic crust. Continental crust can range from 20 to 70 kilometers thick, while oceanic crust is typically only 6 to 10 kilometers thick.
The continental crust is about 35 to 40 kilometers thick, while the oceanic crust averages at about 7-10 kilometers thick. This means that the continental crust is about 3.5 to 4 times the thickness of the oceanic crust.
The Moho discontinuity is typically about 5-10 kilometers thick beneath the oceanic crust and about 20-90 kilometers thick beneath the continental crust.
The thinnest layer of the Earth's shell is the crust, which is divided into the oceanic crust and the continental crust. The oceanic crust is thinner, ranging from 5-10 kilometers thick, while the continental crust is thicker, averaging around 30-50 kilometers thick.
