Fact of the Day: A day on Saturn lasts over 10 hours
After decades of mystery, scientists finally know how long a day lasts on Saturn—10 hours, 33 minutes, and 38 seconds—thanks to subtle wave patterns in the planet’s rings. These icy bands acted like cosmic seismometers, detecting internal vibrations and revealing Saturn's hidden rotation speed, a breakthrough made possible by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.
