Yes, if Saturn didn't reflect the sun's light, it would not be visible from earth.

we would not even know that Saturn excisted, but the olny type of thing in the solar system that emits light is stars like our sun.

How long does it take light to reach Saturn from the sun?

Well.... You see, It takes 8 Minutes for the Light from the sun to get to Earth.. the sun is 93,000,000 Miles away from us.. so what I will do is check how far away Saturn is from the sun and calculate And estimate about how long it takes................................................................................................... It takes Approximately an Hour and ten minutes... Not as much as you think it would take And It may be more or less remember this is an estimate But its really close... Hope this Helps


What is the source of light for Saturn?

Saturn's primary source of light is the Sun. The Sun illuminates Saturn just like it does the other planets in our solar system. Additionally, Saturn's rings and moons also reflect sunlight, adding to the brightness of the planet.


If light takes 8 minutes to reach Earth from the sun and 1.3 hours to reach Saturn what is the distance from the sun to Saturn?

1 hour = 3,600 secondsSpeed of light = 186,282 miles per secondTime to Saturn = 1.3 hours = (1.3 x 3,600) = 4,680 secondsDistance = (speed) x (time) = (186,282 x 4,680) = 871,799,760 milesMy almanac lists Saturn's average distance from the sun as 890.8 million miles.These numbers are only about 2% different; so your figure of 1.3 hours is good, and my math is OK.


How long in earth time is Saturn orbit?

i it just over an hour in light speed but by rocket it took the cassini probe even years to reach Saturn. Pioneer 11 took 6 years


How many planets does the sun's light reach?

Is Saturn always lit up?

Like all planets in our solar system, the planet Saturn is always half illuminated by the sun. The sun is always shining in space (even when it is cloudy on Earth) and the light from the sun is always going to reach Saturn, distant though it is.

How long does it take light to travel from the sun to Saturn in units of sec?

Saturn is about 75 light-minutes from the Sun, so multiply that by 60 to get light-seconds.


How many hours would it take to travel to Saturn from the sun at the speed of light?

Saturn has an average orbital radius of 9.58 AU or about 1,433,449,370 km, so light from the Sun's surface would reach there in about 1 hour and 20 minutes (79.6 mins). This would vary by up to 4 minuites depending on where Saturn was in its orbit.
