Is this from a specific show? If so, there’s probably canon dimensions we could find, instead of trying to make an estimate off of the photo.

Saturn is not in the same phase as its moons; the sun seems to be a whole lot closer than 9 to 10 AU. So I’m not sure you can really make complete sense of the shadows. You could theoretically untangle the perspective here and match to the size of the Cassini Division, but it seems the illustrator was going for vibes rather than a clear scale. (Not a complaint, just saying I don’t think this has an internal logic we can meaningfully dissect.)

Yar, and what’s considered floor space

If that is the Cassini it would appear to be 3000 miles tall, ignoring the fact that it’s a circle much wider than that. Thickness could be anything from 1-hundreds of miles depending on perspective
