Saturn rotates on its axis at an average speed of about 10,500 miles per hour (16,800 kilometers per hour). This rapid rotation gives Saturn its distinct oblate shape, with its equatorial diameter being larger than its polar diameter.

How many hours in Saturn is one day?
One day on Saturn lasts about 10.7 hours. Saturn's fast rotation speed contributes to its short day length compared to its year length.
Do Saturn's rings have any effect on the speed at which it spins?
Saturn's rings have a minimal effect on the planet's spin rate. The rings actually rotate at the same rate as the planet's equator due to gravitational forces, so they do not significantly alter Saturn's overall rotation speed.
In hours how long does it take Saturn to complete a rotation?
It takes Saturn about 10.7 hours to complete a rotation on its axis.
Is Saturn rotation period longer or shorter than earth rotation period?
Saturn's rotation period is longer than Earth's rotation period. Saturn takes about 10.7 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis, while Earth takes about 24 hours.
Is Saturn the fastest planet?
It's not at all clear what you mean by the speed of a planet. In terms of its speed of rotation, or the length of its 'day', Saturn is the second fastest, just behind Jupiter. Regarding its speed in orbit around the sun, Saturn is the 6th fastest planet in our solar system. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and most of the asteroids, all move faster in their orbits virtually all of the time than Saturn does, and several comets do that for part of the time.
How many hours in Saturn is one day?
One day on Saturn lasts about 10.7 hours. Saturn's fast rotation speed contributes to its short day length compared to its year length.
Are they rotation on Saturn?
no they arent rotation on the sun

Do Saturn's rings have any effect on the speed at which it spins?
Saturn's rings have a minimal effect on the planet's spin rate. The rings actually rotate at the same rate as the planet's equator due to gravitational forces, so they do not significantly alter Saturn's overall rotation speed.
What is Saturn's rotation time on axis?
Saturn's rotation time on axis is 42.5km and 6 hrs.
What is the length of Saturn's rotation on its axis?
The length of Saturn's rotation on its axis is about ten and a half hours.
What is Saturns rotation?
The visible features of Saturn rotate at different rates depending on their latitude (distance from the equator). Astronomers have developed three different systems for measuring the rotational speed of Saturn. System I is for regions around the planet's equator. The System I rotation speed is 10 hours and 14 minutes. Above and below the Equatorial Belt is called System II. Here the rotation speed is 10 hours and 39 minutes.
Does saturn have a prograde rotation?
Yes.
How long does it take Jupiter and Saturn to rotate?
Jupiter takes about 9 hours 56 minutes to do one full rotation. It represents an equatorial rotation speed of 45,000 kph (28,000 mph), the fastest for any planet. Saturn takes about 10 hours and 39 minutes in earth days.
What is Saturn's rotation time around the moon?
Saturn does not orbit the moon, it orbits the sun. This is called its revolution, not its rotation. Saturn's period of rotation on its axis is 10 hours 33 minutes. Its period of revolution around the sun 29.45 years.
In hours how long does it take Saturn to complete a rotation?
It takes Saturn about 10.7 hours to complete a rotation on its axis.
Is Saturn rotation period longer or shorter than earth rotation period?
Saturn's rotation period is longer than Earth's rotation period. Saturn takes about 10.7 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis, while Earth takes about 24 hours.
