The visible features of Saturn rotate at different rates depending on their latitude (distance from the equator). Astronomers have developed three different systems for measuring the rotational speed of Saturn. System I is for regions around the planet's equator. The System I rotation speed is 10 hours and 14 minutes. Above and below the Equatorial Belt is called System II. Here the rotation speed is 10 hours and 39 minutes.

What is saturns rotation period in earth days?
It takes 10,832 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Why do saturns rings appear and disappear?
Twice in every orbital rotation of Saturn, its rings appear edge-on to us and become invisible. That happens about every 15 years.
Do Saturns handle well in the snow?
Saturns are junk, take it from me...DO NOT BUY ONE!! Saturns are junk, take it from me...DO NOT BUY ONE!!
Where is saturns rings located?
Around Saturns equatorial diameter, as has to be the case
What are the main colors of Saturns moons?
saturns moons are a reddish color
Which planet has the biggest bulge at the equator?
The relatively pronounced bulge is due to, Jupiter's rapid rotation rate of 9 hrs 56 mins, and Saturns 10hrs 32. As the planets are made of gas this high speed rotation pushes out the gas at the equator.
When was Saturns moons disovered?
saturns main moons were discovered in 1655 and 1671-1684
Saturn surface features?
Some of saturn's suface features are saturns rings, and saturns 30 moons. Also the tilt of it's axis is 26.7a degrees with a distance from the sun 1.4 billion km away. With the size of 120,536 km. With the temperature of -185 degrees celcius. rotation in hours of 10.66 hours and with years 29.46 years.
What is Saturns solar system?
ok well saturns soalar system is all the things that are around it
What happens to saturns shape it spin so fast?
The fast rotation flattens it, making the shape an ellipsoid rather than a sphere - which would be its shape if it didn't rotate at all.The same happens to Earth, as well, but to a lesser degree.
