Do Saturn and earth rotate about an axis?
All planets rotate, although Venus does so very slowly. The spin
of the planets represents the momentum remaining from their
formation (accretion) when the solar system formed. Saturn rotates
much more quickly than the Earth, which has been slowed by the
gravitational effect of the Moon.
Asked in Planet Saturn
Does Saturn rotate more quickly thn earth?
Saturn's rotational period is just over ten hours. This means
that it does spin on its axis much faster than Earth, especially
considering its larger size.
Asked in Planet Saturn
Why does it take Saturn one year to rotate on its own axis?
Saturn is titled unevenly on its axis and away from the Sun than
Earth and has more days to make a year in Earth.
Asked in Planet Earth
Which planet spins more quickly on their axes than earth does?
Neptune
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Asked in Planetary Science, Planet Saturn
How many more times does Saturn rotate than earth?

2.23 times every Earth day.
Asked in Astronomy, Planetary Science, The Moon
Will shadows on mercury change length more or less quickly than shadows on earth?
Less quickly becaus it takes longer to rotate on its axis
therefore one mercury day equals 59 earth days

Why would you weigh more on Saturn than earth?
Because Saturn has more, albeit slightly more, gravity than
Earth.
If you weighed 100lb on Earth you would only weigh 106.4lb on
Saturn.

Asked in Planet Saturn
What does Saturn have in common with the Earth?
They are both planets orbiting the Sun. They both have gravity
and a magnetic field, and both spin (rotate), although for Saturn
the rotation of its atmosphere varies in speed. They have at least
one natural satellite (Earth has one, Saturn more than 60). They
both have atmospheres and both have water, in Saturn's case the ice
frozen in its rings.
Asked in Planetary Science, Planet Saturn
Does Saturn move faster than earth?
Saturn's orbital speed is far SLOWER than the Earth's. Planets
and satellites orbit more quickly when they are close, and more
slowly farther out.
Asked in Planet Uranus, Planet Saturn, Gravity
What is the gravity on Saturn compared to Earth?
The gravity of Saturn is about 1.065 g whereas the
gravity on Earth is 0.99732 g
So Saturn has about 1.068 more gravity.
Asked in Planet Saturn
Does planet Saturn weigh more than planet earth?
Yes, Saturn does weigh more than Earth.
Earth's mass is 5.97224 kg while Saturn's mass is 568.324 kg.
Saturn consists of 95.16 Earth masses.
Asked in Planet Saturn, Gravity
Is there more gravity on Earth than on Saturn?
No the is actually less I think since the bigger plants tend to
have more gravity than the littler ones so since Earth is smaller
than Saturn, Saturn has more gravity.
