One thousand times farther from the Sun than the Kuiper Belt, where long period comets spend .... Rounding off to the nearest million kilograms doesn't help much. ... Venus, 1.0821×108 km, 0.723 AU ... Saturn, 1.43353×109 km, 9.582 AU.

This is where the pattern falls apart, although some say that the asteroid belt, which is in between Jupiter and Mars, could count as a substitute for a planet. Then Saturn is 1.8 times farther than Jupiter, Uranus is 2 times farther than Saturn, and Neptune is 1.6 times farther from the Sun than Uranus.
