Let \(X_p(\sigma)= L^p(\sigma) (1\leq p\leq\infty)\) be the normed space of functions \(f(\mu)\) on the unit sphere \(\sigma= \sigma^{n-1}\) in the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^n(n\geq 3)\) and let \(L^1_\lambda \subset L^1\) be the set of functions \(\varphi\) verifying \[ \int^\pi_0 \varphi(r) \sin^{2\lambda} \gamma d\gamma <\infty\quad (2\lambda =n-2). \] Let the positive parameter \(\rho\in \Lambda\) with a limiting point \(\rho_0\) and suppose that \(\forall \rho\in {\mathfrak A}\), \(\varphi_\rho (t)\) is a kernel verifying \[ \int_\sigma \varphi_\rho (\overset \smile {\mu\mu'}) d\mu'= |\sigma^{n-2} | (\varphi_p \in L^1_\lambda), \] where \(| \sigma^{n-2} |\) is the measure of the unit sphere in \(\mathbb{R}^{n-1}\) and \(\overset \smile {\mu, \mu'}\) is the distance between \(\mu\) and \(\mu'\) on \(\sigma\). For \(f\in X_p (\sigma)\), the spherical convolution operator generated by \(\varphi_\rho(t)\) is defined by \[ T_\rho (f;\mu) = | \sigma^{n-2} |^{-1} \int_\sigma f(\mu') \varphi_\rho (\overset \smile {\mu\mu'}) d\mu'. \] The authors give some necessary conditions and sufficient ones for \(\{T_\rho\}\) to be saturated in \(X_p (\sigma)\) with certain saturation orders and particularly some for positive kernels. The theorem of equivalence of Turesky is also extended. The authors' results are applied to the spherical operator of de la Vallée Poussin and the spherical convolution operator of Jackson-Matsuoka.
