What is the revolutin around the sun for Saturn?

It takes about 29.5 Earth years for Saturn to revolve around the Sun.More, about the Sun's rotation:At the equator the solar rotation period is 24.47 days. This is called the sidereal rotation period, and should not be confused with the synodic rotation period of 26.24 days, which is the time for a fixed feature on the Sun to rotate to the same apparent position as viewed from Earth. The synodic period is longer because the Sun must rotate for a sidereal period plus an extra amount due to the orbital motion of the Earth around the Sun. Note that astrophysical literature does not typically use the equatorial rotation period, but instead often uses the definition of a Carrington rotation: a synodic rotation period of 27.2753 days (or a sidereal period of 25.38 days). This chosen period roughly corresponds to rotation at a latitude of 26 deg, which is consistent with the typical latitude of sunspots and corresponding periodic solar activity. When the Sun is viewed from the "north" (above the Earth's northern pole) solar rotation is counterclockwise. Sunspots viewed from Earth (its Northern hemisphere) appear to move from left to right across the face of the Sun.It takes about 29.5 Earth years for Saturn to revolve around the Sun.

How do the rotation of the earth and the sun produces days and nights and years?

The rotation of the Earth produces days and nights, because different areas are illuminated at different times. The orbit of the Earth creates years because the period of rotation dictates how long it takes for all the seasons to pass by. The rotation rate of the Sun does not affect either the days or the years of Earth.
