Abstract The precession of Saturn under the effect of the gravity of the Sun, Jupiter and planet’s satellites has been investigated. Saturn is considered to be an axisymmetric (A = B) solid body close to the dynamically spherical one. The orbits of Saturn and Jupiter are considered to be Keplerian ellipses in the inertial coordinate system. It has been shown that the entire set of small parameters of the problem can be reduced to two independent parameters. The averaged Hamiltonian function of the problem and the integrals of evolutionary equations are obtained disregarding the effect of satellites. Using the small parameter method, the expressions for the precession frequency and the nutation angle of the planet’s axis of rotation caused by the gravity of the Sun and Jupiter are obtained. Considering the planet with satellites as a whole preceding around the normal to the unmovable plane of Saturn’s orbit, the satellites effect on the Saturn rotation is taken into account via the corrections in the formula for the undisturbed precession frequency. The satellites are shown to have no effect on the nutation angle (in the framework of the accepted model), and the disturbances from Jupiter to make the main contribution to the nutation angle evolution. The effect of Jupiter on the nutation angle and the precession period is described with regard to the attraction of satellites.
