Yes, if Saturn didn't reflect the sun's light, it would not be visible from earth.
we would not even know that Saturn excisted, but the olny type of thing in the solar system that emits light is stars like our sun.

Light travels Vast areas , look out at the night sky all the stars are light reching you're eyes that may be millions of light years away from earth - A fraction of the distance from the sun to saturn.
But the light would be dimmer than earth as the star is further away the concentration of light is weaker.

∙ 13y agoYes, our Sun is Saturn's star.
You see, our planets, Mercury through Neptune, all orbit the Sun. So even if they have different natural satellites, like the Moon for the Earth and Phobos for Mars, they all have the same Star, or in this case, the Sun.

∙ 11y agoSaturn gives off more than twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Scientists believe Saturn generates heat when helium sinks slowly through liquid hydrogen deep inside the planet. In fact, the temperature at Saturn's core is estimated to be about 21,150° F (11,700° C), which is almost as hot as the surface of the Sun.

What is the source of light for Saturn?
The sun is the primary source of light for Saturn.
How long does it take light to reach Saturn from the sun?
Well.... You see, It takes 8 Minutes for the Light from the sun to get to Earth.. the sun is 93,000,000 Miles away from us.. so what I will do is check how far away Saturn is from the sun and calculate And estimate about how long it takes................................................................................................... It takes Approximately an Hour and ten minutes... Not as much as you think it would take And It may be more or less remember this is an estimate But its really close... Hope this Helps
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.
How long in earth time is Saturn orbit?
i it just over an hour in light speed but by rocket it took the cassini probe even years to reach Saturn. Pioneer 11 took 6 years
How many planets does the sun's light reach?
The Sun's light reaches all of the planets in our Solar system. We see them only because they reflect some of the Sun's light.
Does the sun reach Saturn's moon Titan?
If you mean sunlight, yes. All moons and planets in the solar system get light from the sun.
What is the source of light for Saturn?
The sun is the primary source of light for Saturn.
Is Saturn always lit up?
Like all planets in our solar system, the planet Saturn is always half illuminated by the sun. The sun is always shining in space (even when it is cloudy on Earth) and the light from the sun is always going to reach Saturn, distant though it is.
How is Saturn from the sun in light years?
Saturn is approximately 9.5 AU from the sun, which is about 0.00015 light years.
How long does it take light to reach Saturn from the sun?

How long does it take light to travel from the sun to Saturn in units of sec?
Saturn is about 75 light-minutes from the Sun, so multiply that by 60 to get light-seconds.
How many hours would it take to travel to Saturn from the sun at the speed of light?
Saturn has an average orbital radius of 9.58 AU or about 1,433,449,370 km, so light from the Sun's surface would reach there in about 1 hour and 20 minutes (79.6 mins). This would vary by up to 4 minuites depending on where Saturn was in its orbit.
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.
Does Saturn receive light from the sun?
Yes. All planets in the solar system receive light from the sun.
How much sun light does Saturn get a day?
a lot
How far is Saturn from the sun in light years?
At its furthest Saturn can be as far as 0.000175 light years(1.66 *109 km) from the Earth (175/1000000 of a l.y.)At its closes Saturn can be as near as 0.000172 light years(1.51 *109 km) from the Earth
How does it take for light to reach earth?
If you mean light from the Sun, then it takes eight minutes for the light to reach the Earth.
