because it is further away from the sun therefore taking it longer. using this simplised explaination you may begin to understand... imagine you are turning a corner and one person is on the inside of the bend, and the other on the outer pavement/corner, both travelling at the same speed. The person on the inner corner would move or go round the corner quicker because he has a lesser distance to travel and the person on the outer longer due to the longer and further area required to move around

Saturn takes longer than Venus to orbit the Sun because its orbit is much larger, so there is more distance to travel to complete one revolution. In addition, Saturn moves slower along its orbit than Venus does along its own orbit.

It's something to do with the planets moon rotations so the moon rotates slower than the moon on earth therefore making the days, months, weeks and years longer.

ex- 10 minutes here would be an hour or so on Saturn
