Because a day is defined as how long it takes a planet to rotate on it's axis, and has nothing to do with the size of a planet. However, Saturn rotates at about 35,500 kph whereas the Earth for comparison only rotates at 1,675 kph.

How many earth hours does Saturn have?

A "day" on Saturn is between 10 and 11 Earth hours long (from 10 hours 14 minutes to 10 hours 39 minutes, with the average 10 hours 32 minutes). Saturn's rotational speed is based on the atmosphere and varies by latitude, being fastest at the equator.


What is saturns length of day?

Saturn's length of day is about 10.7 hours. It rotates on its axis at a fast rate compared to Earth's rotation.


Why a day on Saturn is only ELEVEN hours long?

Saturn's rapid rotation causes its day to last only 11 hours. The gas giant's quick spin is due to its composition and massive size, which results in a short day compared to Earth's 24-hour rotation period. The speed of Saturn's rotation also generates its strong equatorial bulge and distinct atmospheric dynamics.


Are there 50 hours in a day?

No. There are 24 hours in a day. On Earth, that is pretty standard, but there could be other planets with a 50 hour day. Here are the approximate day lengths (defining a day by the time it takes a planet to rotate once on its axis) for the rest of the planets in the Solar System: Mercury: 58 Earth days Venus: 243 Earth days Mars: 25 hours Jupiter: 10 hours Saturn: 11 hours Uranus: 17 hours Neptune: 16 hours Unfortunately nothing in our own Solar System comes close, but we are always finding new planets and we might find one that has a 50 hour day someday.


How far is Pluto from Saturn in light year?

The distance between Pluto and Saturn varies depending on where each planet is in its orbit, but the maximum distance between them is a little under 11 light-HOURS.

Eleven hours is what fraction of one day?

Since a day has 24 hours, 11 hours is 11/24 of a day.


What fraction of a day is 11 hours?

To find the fraction of a day that is 11 hours, we need to know that there are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, the fraction of a day that is 11 hours is 11/24. This can be simplified to 11/24 because there are no common factors between 11 and 24 that can be divided out. So, 11 hours is approximately 0.4583 of a day.


How many days are in 22 hours?

a day on Earth is 24 ours so really it's only 11/12 of a day.
