Why does Saturn only have 11 hours a day?
Because a day is defined as how long it takes a planet to rotate on it's axis, and has nothing to do with the size of a planet. However, Saturn rotates at about 35,500 kph whereas the Earth for comparison only rotates at 1,675 kph.

If light takes 8 minutes to reach Earth from the sun and 1.3 hours to reach Saturn what is the distance from the sun to Saturn?
1 hour = 3,600 secondsSpeed of light = 186,282 miles per secondTime to Saturn = 1.3 hours = (1.3 x 3,600) = 4,680 secondsDistance = (speed) x (time) = (186,282 x 4,680) = 871,799,760 milesMy almanac lists Saturn's average distance from the sun as 890.8 million miles.These numbers are only about 2% different; so your figure of 1.3 hours is good, and my math is OK.

Why is a day longer on earth than Saturn?
A "Day" relates to the rotation of the planet. The giant Saturn spins around, or rotates, once every 10 hours and 45 minutes. So it's "Day" is only 10 hours 45 minutes (earth hours) long. Whereas Earth spins slower so its day is longer.
