Question

How long does it take Saturn to orbit the Sun?

Answer 1

Hint: Saturn is the second-largest in the Solar System. It is made up of gases, the major gas being Helium. It has rings around it which are not solid. They give a unique look to it.

Complete answer: Saturn travels very slowly around the Sun, but spins very fast on its axis. It has a minimum orbital speed of 9.69 km/s. Hence, Saturn takes 10 hours 33 minutes to rotate once on its axis. This means one year on Saturn is equal to 29 Earth years.
-Saturn is located quite far from the Sun due to which it obtains much less sunlight than that of the Earth. The Sun looks smaller than Saturn.
-Saturn’s rings are visible at their widest point. As it proceeds on its orbit around the Sun, the angle it's rings decrease until they vanish completely from our point of view. This is the reason why we see them edge-on.

Note: Saturn has a distinct trait. It is such that its density is less than the rest of the planets in the Solar System. Its average density is 687 kg/m3 which makes it lighter than water. Saturn has a total of 82 moons, the largest moon being the Titan.
