Proper Name | Fenrir | Designation | Saturn XLI | Primary Planet | Saturn | Family / Class | Norse group | Orbital Period | 3 years, 164 days, 8 hours | Distance from Saturn | Semi-Major Axis: 22,454,000 km (0.15 AU) Periapsis: 19,423,000 km (0.13 AU) Apoapsis: 25,485,000 km (0.17 AU) | Eccentricity | 0.1363 | Rotation Period | Not known | Diameter (longest axis) | 4 km 2.5 miles (highly uncertain) | Notes | The small, dark moon Fenrir is part of a group of some hundred irregular moons orbiting in the outer regions of the Saturn system, known collectively as the Norse group. Like the other members of the group, Fenrir has a retrograde orbit, and thus is likely to be an object captured by Saturn's gravity, rather than having formed within the Saturnian system. |
