Europa sounds terrifying

Saturn in particular seems to have a much smaller sun than Pluto (to be fair, they're trying to put the rings in there, which will mess with the perspective, but that doesn't explain why it looks bigger from Neptune than Uranus, or their moons, but whatever, the point still stands because there's no way the orbits of Ariel and Triton overlap enough to make the illusion make sense), and why the fuck does it look like the view from a plane around Saturn's rings?
I think the view from Saturn is just for dramatic effect

The views from the gas giants are from one of their moons. In fact, the one for Jupiter is specifically identified as being from Europa because, well, on the planets themselves, there isn't a surface to land on. I suppose it makes sense for the view from Saturn to be focused on the rings, but the proportions remain out of whack and the cloudy aerial view from Saturn is still nonsensical.
