Frost is related to condensation, so for the most part I will be reffering to condensation. But condensation forms on the outside of a cold object when the air around it is relatively humid. When air gets colder it cannot hold as much water vapor in it, so the air which is cold from the cold object has excess water in it that it needs to get rid of, depositing it somewhere, most likely the cold object. Frost is formed when the condensation freezes.

Why does frost form on the inside of a window rather than the outside?

Because the inside is where the moisture is. You cannot have frost without moisture present to freeze.


How did Saturn form?

Saturn was formed along with rest of the planets soon after the protosun came into life. At a point called the "Ice or frost line" -- around where the asteroid belt is today - hydrogen became cold enough to condense into solid ice grains where the accretion of planetesimals could begin. It is for this reason that the gas giants are further from the Sun than the inner, terrestrial planets.
