Suppose that an alien civilization very far away is attempting to detect planets in our Solar System using the transit method. By what factor would the dip in the brightness of the Sun increase when Saturn transits in front of it, compared to when Earth transits in front of it? Jupiter is about 300 times as massive as the Earth, and its radius is about 10 times as large as Earth's radius.
