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.
An hour is still an hour - so one.
But a "day" on Saturn is 10 hours and 16 minutes long.
Saturn is only 700 times larger than Earth by volume. By diameter it is about 9 times larger than Earth. It has a shorter day simply because it spins much faster.
Because Saturn spins faster than Earth does. The 'day' is the length of time
a planet takes to complete one spin on its axis of rotation.

Why does Saturn only have 11 hours a day?
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 long is saturns day?
A day in Saturn is 10 hours and 40 minutes just in one day while it rbits the sun
How long does it take Saturn to go one rotation?
Saturn takes about 10.7 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis. This rapid rotation causes the planet to have an oblate shape, with a noticeable bulge at its equator.
is Saturn the only 'gas giant' planet?
No Saturn is not the only gas planet there are three others.
How long does it take Saturn to turn on its axis one time?
Period of Saturn's Rotation (its day)The latest available data suggests that the equatorial rotation period of Saturn is between about 10.2 and 10.6 Earth hours. It cannot be observed directly because of the thick atmosphere, which rotates at varying speeds depending on latitude. The slowest roation is near the poles and the fastest at the equator.The "average" rotation estimates of 10 hours, 32 minutes (or 10 hours, 34 minutes) come from measurement of changes in the planet's magnetic field, which is disrupted by shifts in the plasma stream around the planet.Other sources may report the day length as only 10 hours, 14 minutes, because the clouds at Saturn's equator spin faster than the planet as a whole.Saturn's average rotational period is reported to be 10hr 34min.Awesome question : Saturn rotates every 10 hrs 32 minutes. That's pretty fast - especially for how big it is. Because of this fast rotation, Saturn is a little flatter at the poles. It's sides bulge out because it spins so fast.
How long does it take for Saturn to rotate round?
Saturn rotates quickly on its axis.Each day is only 10.67 Earth hours long. Saturn moves around the sun at an average speed oF34,812 per hour.
How long does it take to drive 11 miles?
It depends entirely on how fast you are going. If you are going a mile an hour, it will take you eleven hours to drive eleven miles. If you are going eleven miles an hour, it will only take you an hour.

How long is saturns day?

Why is a day longer on earth than Saturn?
A day on Earth is shorter than on Saturn because Earth rotates faster on its axis than Saturn. Earth completes one full rotation on its axis in about 24 hours, while Saturn takes around 10.7 hours to complete a full rotation. This faster rotation speed on Saturn means that its days are shorter compared to Earth.
How long was the Siege of Boston?
it was only eleven months. 1775-1776 victory to the colonists
Is it okay to get your first kiss on the lips when you are only eleven or twelve?
sure.why not as long as you dont sleep with him/her.
What was Mad-Eye Moody's wand made from?
The only thing known about his wand is that it is eleven inches long.
Should an eleven year old boy have a girlfriend?
Yes, but only if he has known her for a long time and if her family likes you.
Does Saturn's day feel long?
Probably not. While the longer orbit of Saturn means that its "year" is 29.6 times as long as Earth's, its "day" is much shorter, only about 10 1/2 Earth hours. The planet is much larger than Earth, but spins very much faster. (In its dense atmosphere, the clouds spin a bit more slowly nearer to the poles.)
How long does it take for a golf grip to dry?
Only a few hours, however overnight would be ideal.
Would a year on the Saturn be longer or shorter than a year on earth?
No, a day on Saturn is much shorter than one Earth day. The giant planet spins around, or rotates, once every ten and one-half (earth) hours.It spins every 10 hours 45 minutes and 45 seconds
