Best Answer

Saturn, like Jupiter, has a very high rotational speed. Although the outer atmospheric layers spin at different speeds, the planet makes one complete rotation about every 10.2 to 10.6 Earth hours. This would be equivalent to an equatorial rotational speed of 9.87 km/sec (22,000 mph).

Being farther from the Sun than Earth, the orbit of Saturn is much longer and it moves at a slower velocity. Its orbital velocity is about 9.7 km/sec and it takes nearly 29 1/2 Earth years (10,759 Earth days) to circle the Sun.
