The sidereal rotation period of Saturn (the time between a point on the planet facing a certain distant reference point) is 10 hours, 32 minutes and 35 seconds.
Saturn takes about 10.7 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis.
Saturn rotates on its axis once every 10 hours.
Saturn takes about 10.7 hours to complete one rotation around its axis. This rapid rotation contributes to its flattened shape and strong atmospheric winds. The exact rotation time can vary slightly due to the planet's gaseous composition and dynamic atmosphere.
Eris takes about 25.9 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis.
The Earth takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis.
It takes Saturn about 10 hours and 39 minutes to complete one rotation on its axis, which is a Saturnian day. This is much shorter than an Earth day, which is about 24 hours long.
Saturn goes around the sun once every Saturn Year, and that is only once every 29.46 Earth Years.
Saturn takes about 29.5 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun. This means that a year on Saturn is nearly 30 times longer than a year on Earth. Additionally, Saturn's rotation period is about 10.7 hours, making its day much shorter than an Earth day despite its lengthy year.
Saturn has the second (to Jupiter) fastest spin of the eight planets. It takes about 10 hours and 14 minutes to make one full rotation on its axis, much shorter than an Earth day of 24 hours.
Day and night on Saturn is caused by the its rotation around the Sun. Much like the Earth, the Sun provides the day and night cycle for Saturn.

Gas giant planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, have much shorter rotation periods compared to Earth, with Jupiter completing a rotation in about 10 hours and Saturn in about 10.7 hours. However, their revolution periods are significantly longer; for instance, Jupiter takes approximately 12 Earth years to orbit the Sun, while Saturn takes about 29.5 Earth years. In contrast, Earth has a rotation period of 24 hours and a revolution period of 1 year. This leads to a distinct difference in their day lengths and the time it takes for them to complete an orbit around the Sun.
