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.
Earth. The top-like motion is "precession".
Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the 2nd largest planet from the solar system
No, the presence of Cassini did not cause Saturn's orbit to change. Cassini's own orbit around Saturn was carefully planned to avoid influencing the planet's motion. The spacecraft's gravity was too insignificant to affect Saturn's massive orbit.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun in our solar system.
Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun.
It is a planet, it is called saturn, it has some rings etc.
The rings are particles of dust that are drawn in by the planet's gravity. They orbit Saturn in a spinning motion.
