Saturn's rotational period is the Saturnian "day." As Saturn is a gas giant, the visible features on Saturn rotate at different rates depending on latitude; the Equatorial Zone has a period of 10 h 14 min 00 s. All other Saturnian latitudes have been assigned a rotation period of 10 h 39 min 24 s.
The precise value for the rotation period of the interior remains elusive but the best estimate is approximately 10 h 45 m 45 s (± 36 s).
The revolution period of Saturn refers to the orbital period around the Sun (the Saturn "year"), which is about 10,579 Earth days or 29.5 Earth years.

Saturn's period of revolution, or its time to orbit around the Sun, is about 29.5 Earth years.
Saturn's revolution time, the time it takes to orbit around the sun, is about 29.5 Earth years. Saturn's rotation time, its day length, is about 10.7 hours, making it one of the fastest rotating planets in our solar system.
All planets in our solar system vary in the time it takes them to complete a revolution. This is due to their differing distances from the sun. As far as rotation goes, the time varies from nine hours and fifty minutes for Jupiter to 244 days for Venus to make a like rotation.
well the difference is rotation is around an axis in the center of a body. revolution is the movement of a body around an axis outside of the body ( earth is the body then the sun is the axis.
Mercury's period of rotation, or the time it takes to complete one full rotation on its axis, is 58.6 Earth days. Its period of revolution, or the time it takes to orbit the Sun, is about 88 Earth days. This means that one day on Mercury (rotation) is longer than one year on Mercury (revolution).

Revolution is the time a planet takes to revolve around itself. Rotation is the time a planet takes to orbit the Sun.
because of the earths rotation and revolution.
Saturn's period of revolution, or its time to orbit around the Sun, is about 29.5 Earth years.
Saturn's revolution time, the time it takes to orbit around the sun, is about 29.5 Earth years. Saturn's rotation time, its day length, is about 10.7 hours, making it one of the fastest rotating planets in our solar system.
The rotation of a planet refers to the planet spinning like a top; a "revolution" is the time required for the planet's orbit around the Sun.
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
The period of rotation for each of the planets is as follows - the sidereal rotation (rotation time against background stars); PlanetSidereal rotational periodMercury58.646225Venus-243.0187Earth0.99726957Mars1.02595675Jupiter0.41007Saturn0.426Uranus-0.71833Neptune0.67125
